Description

Book Synopsis

Very little in the American way of life functions adequately under surveillance. Democracy itself may be at mortal risk due to the loss of privacy and the increase in surveillance.

Examining challenges in a wide range of contexts, this book investigates and critically examines our systems of data management, including the ways that data are collected, exchanged, analyzed, and re-purposed.

The volume calls for re-establishing personal privacy as a societal norm and priority, requiring action on the part of everyone at personal, societal, business, and governmental levels. Because new media products and services are professionally designed and implemented to be frictionless and highly rewarding, change is difficult and solutions are not easy. This volume provides insight into challenges and recommended solutions.



Trade Review

«Lamoureux’s book shines a bright spotlight into the dark corners of data tracking, surveillance, and invasions of privacy. For anyone who uses social media or the web, and that’s most of us, his work gives a better understanding of the current state of privacy practices and a roadmap toward greater accountability.»
(Larry Clark, Washington State Magazine August 2017)
