Publisher's summary

Every minute of every day, our data is harvested and exploited.... It is time to pull the plug on the surveillance economy.

Governments and hundreds of corporations are spying on you and everyone you know. They're not just selling your data. They're selling the power to influence you and decide for you. Even when you've explicitly asked them not to.

Reclaiming privacy is the only way we can regain control of our lives and our societies. These governments and corporations have too much power, and their power stems from us - from our data. Privacy is as collective as it is personal, and it's time to take back control.

Privacy Is Power tells you how to do exactly that. It calls for the end of the data economy and proposes concrete measures to bring that end about, offering practical solutions, both for policymakers and ordinary citizens.

Timely and useful information.

Useful as a reminder to those in the know and a revelation to luddites and younger generations.

A glimpse into the mind of a big government privacy researcher

if you will be motivated towards privacy through long-winded anecdotes of extreme leftist ideals alone, this could be a good intro to privacy for you. if you aren't a proponent of trusting bigger government and regulating from emotion, you'll probably be disappointed. The tactical section of the book that isn't political can be summed up in a few minutes saving the reader hours of their life.
