Database Nation: The Death of Privacy in the 21st Century
|
|
More than simply a journalistic summary of the current state of privacy rights and violations. It is a call to arms. Forty years ago, unbridled technology attacked our environment -- and few people seemed to know or care. Today, our environment still imperils us, but things are better than they might have been, and we have a population that's informed and, in many cases, activist. This book pleads the case for privacy in the same way. There is much that can be done with, not in spite of, technology. An aware public is the first step.
