Description
Permanent Record by Edward Snowden This is the extraordinary account of a young man who grew up online and became a spy, a whistleblower, and, in exile, the Internet's conscience. In 2013, Edward Snowden shocked the world when he revealed that the US government was secretly pursuing mass surveillance, sparking an unprecedented system with the ability to pry into every person's private life. Spanning his childhood in the Beltway suburbs and his clandestine CIA and NSA postings as a young adult, Permanent Record is a candid memoir of our digital age. Written with wit, passion, and unflinching candor, Snowden shares for the first time how he helped build this system and why he was moved to expose it. A crucial account of one man's journey from online beginnings to becoming a global figure in the fight against mass surveillance, Permanent Record is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, politics, and individual freedom.
