Le prime 200 pagine sono lunghe. E' chiaro che servono a dare contesto e idea del personaggio, ma alla fine risultano davvero pesanti; ho fatto un po' fatica a leggere. Al contrario, una volta arrivati "al dunque", questo libro mi ha assorbita tantissimo, e se da un lato facevo fatica a smettere di leggere, completamente assorbita dagli avvenimenti e dalla visione del mondo dell'autore, dall'altro devo dire che mi è salita (ulteriormente) un'enorme sfiducia per l'umanità. Credo sia una lettura veramente illuminante e interessante per scoprire meglio il pensiero e la motivazione che porta una persona a fare un atto importante e life-changing come quello fatto da Snowden.

I told a colleague I was reading Edward Snowden’s book. My colleague said, without a pause, “That guy’s a traitor to his country.”
I don’t see it that way. Snowden did the world a favour, and he was exceptionally brave to do so. He was prepared to sacrifice his life for his principles, and for citizens everywhere.
Of course, I am biased, because I have read Snowden’s account. But what he says checks out. And the international changes to privacy protection since serve to paint his actions as just and correct.
Thanks.
