Book Synopsis
In The Privacy Pirates, former National Security Agency intelligence officer Dr. Leslie Gruis explains the origins of American privacy and its deep connection to freedom and the American dream. She discusses some of the controversial issues, covering everything from attempts to protect privacy rights—many unsuccessful—to abuses of privacy by large companies and accusations of privacy invasion by the government. All of it is explained in plain language, with humor and clarity, and is accompanied at the start of every chapter by the compelling story of 14-year-old Alice and her family as they attempt to negotiate a modern world full of Privacy Pirates.

"Your rights are under attack from the Privacy Pirates," says Gruis. "Government intrusion is nothing compared to the things companies like Facebook and Google are getting away with every day."

Take the journey with Alice, get informed about your privacy rights, and learn how you, too, can defeat the Privacy Pirates.
