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

This is what journalism looks like, provided by one of the greatest reporters of our times. Scheer has written a powerful indictment of the present-day corporate-government surveillance regime that has effectively eliminated the right to privacy. Like a master surgeon, he dissects the self-serving rationales for the wholesale illegal spying on Americans and shows them to be nonsense. --Robert W. McChesney, author of Blowing the Roof Off the Twenty-First Century

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
