Permanent Record by Edward Snowden
5.0
Yeah, this was exactly as good as I thought it would be when I heard it was coming to stores.
Technology is an ever changing, impossible to fathom beast; one that we as humans both love and absolutely hate. For those who comprehend what some of it is doing though, it's suffocating. The way Snowden describes the things he unearthed during the period he worked at the NSA is life changing, and earth shattering. What should be a tool, is being used in the most villainous ways possible; something that sounds out of a horror story.
I feel for him, being caught in that kind of moral quandary is never easy, but... This was a beautifully written piece about what happens when someone actually takes that leap.
Keep going. Someone needs to step up.
