Must reading for anyone interested in understanding why privacy is important and how the government is removing basic freedoms and creating an authoritarian state by taking away privacy. This is a topic which should be of interest to all Americans. I love how the author starts at the beginning of home computing, and then takes us through the buildup of the internet, and eventually to the takeover of the internet by the US Government. Thanks to Edward Snowden. I think he is probably the only person who could describe this environment in such lucid and easy to understand narrative..
