Chatter: Dispatches from the Secret World of Global Eavesdropping by Patrick Radden Keefe

4.0

This was really interesting and also really frustrating. As Keefe acknowledges at the end of the book, he has mostly managed to identify where the gaps in public knowledge about global eavesdropping by government agencies begins and ends, rather than offering any real answers. He does, however, use this to very effectively make a case that the current hyper-secretive, change-resistant culture of intelligence agencies is ultimately to their own detriment.
