Nov 08, 2017tjdickey rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
This book should scare you. Written by a convicted hacker and computer security consultant, "The Art of Invisibility" gives us a series of real-life stories of hacking, surveillance, data mining, and identity theft; each is followed by very practical (and often technically detailed) tips on how to avoid the pitfalls. As such, it reads as part real-life thriller and part latter-day "Anarchist's Cookbook." Whether you are concerned about your privacy from governments, or from hackers, or just from the big data reach of Google claiming (with justification) that *they* know you better than you do; from Edward Snowden to the average emailer and online shopper; the digital introvert of any version can gain a lot of practical tips in these pages.
