They Know Everything about You : How Data-Collecting Corporations and Snooping Government Agencies Are Destroying Democracy

"Scheer acquits himself as a passionate advocate for privacy rights; you'd want him by your side at a protest." --Los Angeles Times "...Scheer powerfully connects the dots of our chilling Orwellian present, one in which privacy is considered a luxury, rather than a right." --Publishers Weekly "A vital piece of work that demands attention." --Kirkus Reviews "Robert Scheer reminds us that privacy is everything--the protector of our liberty, the guarantor of our personal autonomy, the fountainhead of our democracy--and yet it's disappearing faster than an electronic blip moving at warp speed from your computer to the NSA. With clarity and precision, Scheer dissects the military-intelligence complex, showing it to be neither very secure nor very intelligent, but, rather, dangerous to us all." --Robert B. Reich, Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy, University of California at Berkeley "They Know Everything About You is a brilliant book. Robert Scheer, who covered my 1971 trial after I released the Pentagon Papers, has been following privacy and surveillance issues for decades. He is a key voice and his book-- cogent, timely, and fascinating--is an indispensable text for our time." --Daniel Ellsberg, author of Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers
