A review by kbstein
Permanent Record by Edward Snowden

5.0

I knew the basics of Snowden’s story and what he exposed to the public, but this book goes a lot deeper than what you could have gotten from the news.

Snowden talks about all of the ways we are now losing our privacy and the consequences of it. He also shares about his time working for the government and the things he saw that ultimately led to his releasing of classified information.

This book made me a lot more paranoid about my online presence. I have already done things to lessen the access companies and people have to my data and will think twice before accepting all cookies on every website I go.
