The End of Privacy: How Total Surveillance Is Becoming a Reality

Rating:
Summary: some good information but...
Review: Mr. Whitaker has done a fine job of increasing my awareness of surveillance and how it can affect my every day life. I have become more careful about the information that I disclose and to whom I disclose it. While computers and computerization are a large part of the surveillance industry, I felt that more time could have been spent on other types of privacy theft and less on cyber voyerism. Overall, I believe that the book served its purpose, assisting me in my professional and private life. Again, I believe too much ink was spent on the computer aspect of surveillance.

Review: The book was very thought provoking. However, there seemed to be some factual errors when discussing intelligence-related topics that he might have cleared up with a little homework. It amazes me that so little is actually being published on this topic when it will dramatically (and irrevocably?) alter our own sense of who we are and how we fit into society.
