Reviews

This is a book that everyone should read. Many other books have examined personal privacy in the digital world - among them, Solove's The Digital Person and O'Harrow's No Place to Hide - but Andrejevic's emphasis on individuals' complicity makes this a unique, compelling read. Lively, well written, and full of examples, this is an essential book that should lead to many interesting discussions. Choice ""A sharp-eyed, sharp-elbowed tour of a darker world and an essential guide to a rapidly networking world."" Fred Turner, author of From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism ""A hard-hitting critique, tempered by an ironic sense of humor."" David Lyon, author of Surveillance Society: Monitoring Everyday Life
