mugennomajo 's review for:
No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State
by Glenn Greenwald
challenging
reflective
slow-paced
A Landmark Work
So many things are summarized in this one book that it is incredible.
It covers everything essential from government overreach to their infiltration of major corporations, those corporations and their cooperation and other shady practices those very institutions make. The many violations that came of the NSA programs from PRISM to the Five Eyes.
And perhaps just as importantly, Glenn also argues and demonstrates why these things matter. It would be easy to simply demonstrate the facts as he in his own words says but it is just as important for a true journalist to argue in favor of why these revelations matter and how it affects our everyday lives.
It has been a decade since the publication of “No Place To Hide…”, and it remains as important now as it was then.
Perhaps its importance is even greater in today’s age where governments, corporations and data brokers run rampant with our lives in digital form.
