Zustand: Fair. As the 21st century dawns, advances in technology endanger our privacy in ways never before imagined. Direct marketers and retailers track our every purchase; surveillance cameras observe our movements; mobile phones will soon report our location to those who want to track us; government eavesdroppers listen in on private communications; misused medical records turn our bodies and our histories against us; and linked databases assemble detailed consumer profiles used to predict and influence our behavior. Privacy - the most basic of our civil rights - is in grave peril. Simson Garfinkel - journalist, entrepreneur, and international authority on computer security - has spent his career testing new technologies and warning about their implications.

Garfinkel's captivating blend of journalism, storytelling, and futurism is a call to arms. It will frighten, entertain, and ultimately convince us that we must take action now to protect our privacy and identity before it's too late. …

When Robert Rivera filed suit against a super- market where he slipped and fell, the store used his frequent-buyer records to claim that liquor purchases led to his accident. And today, candidates for public office must assume that opponents and journalists may obtain their personal records from hospitals, insurance companies, and other seemingly private databases. As the 21st century dawns, advances in technology endanger our privacy in ways never before imagined. Direct marketers and retailers track our every purchase; surveillance cameras observe our movements; mobile phones will soon report our location to those who want to track us; govern- ment eavesdroppers listen in on private commu- nications; misused medical records turn our bodies and our histories against us; and linked databases assemble detailed consumer profiles used to predict and influence our behavior. Privacy-the most basic of our civil rights is in grave peril. ISBN 1565926536 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 635. …
