Your cell phone provider tracks your location and knows who's with you. Your online and in-store purchasing patterns are recorded, and reveal if you're unemployed, sick, or pregnant. Your e-mails and texts expose your intimate and casual friends. Google knows what you're thinking because it saves your private searches. Facebook can determine your sexual orientation without you ever mentioning it. The powers that surveil us do more than simply store this information. Corporations use surveillance to manipulate not only the news articles and advertisements we each see, but also the prices we're offered. Governments use surveillance to discriminate, censor, and chill free speech, and put people in danger worldwide. And both sides share this information with each other or, even worse, lose it to cybercriminals in huge data breaches. Much of this is voluntary: we cooperate with corporate surveillance because it promises us convenience, and we submit to government surveillance because it promises us protection. The result is a mass surveillance society of our own making. But have we given up more than we've gained? Security expert Bruce Schneier offers another path, one that values both security and privacy. He shows us what we can do to reform our government surveillance programs and shake up surveillance-based business models, while also providing tips for you to protect your privacy every day.… (mais)

I loved the section on data/identity obfuscation. Must read for anyone who is concerned about privacy. ( )

Well, this sure was eye-opening and worrisome. I read it for school, and I'll be interested to see what everyone thinks. Mostly I came out of this feeling like trying to protect my privacy is a losing battle. The author doesn't suggest that, and he has some helpful hints at the end of the book, but the problems he talks about still feel overwhelming.
The book has over 100 pages of references, and I'm a little cranky about whatever citation style he used. Not very user-friendly.
A lot of his solutions having to do with laws to keep government and corporations in check seem very difficult to attain. Not impossible, but I don't see them happening tomorrow. Still, the book is good food for thought. ( )

It was good, 3-stars for "I liked it". It was a bit like a list of issues: a list of problems; a list of effects; a list of dangers; a list of solutions.

The good: There's lots of stuff here, and each is real and important and pressing, so.... good on Bruce Schneier. Also, it is very readable, devoid of complexity and, I think, this will become the book that anyone can and will turn to for an introduction to this field. He's going to sell millions of copies.

The not so good: There was no integrated thesis developed or presented. For example, the ignorance of politicians is left unattached to the ignorances of the public and unrelated to the constant errors made by programmers and technicians. The invasions of our privacy is not related to other thefts or corruptions.

Once upon a time Bruce wrote a technical book on encryption and then accidentally became the world's #1 spokesman on privacy and surveillance, a role that he is not at all suited for and is simply not up to. I subscribe to his monthly newsletters and nearly every month he writes something silly or painfully naive.

So, good and not so good. 3 stars. ( )

Excellent book - as a survey of the threats to privacy we face, and solid plans for action. This also prompted me to start re-reading "Dragnet Nation," an excellent survey of how to reduce one's data footprint.... ( )

“Data and Goliath” by Bruce Schneier. This is a good overview of the internet and privacy. The internet of things is the next frontline on the loss of privacy and the increase in surveillance over us all. I didn’t learn all that much that was new to me because I have been following this issue ever since PCs became a thing. Well worth reading though. ( )

Whether you're someone who really cares about this stuff and wants to figure out how to talk to the people in your life about, or someone who is purely confused by it all and wants to know what it means, Data and Goliath is a beginning-to-end guide to life in the age of total information awareness.
