THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER
Edward Snowden, the man who risked everything to expose the US government’s system of mass surveillance, reveals for the first time the story of his life, including how he helped to build that system and what motivated him to try to bring it down.
In 2013, twenty-nine-year-old Edward Snowden shocked the world when he broke with the American intelligence establishment and revealed that the United States government was secretly pursuing the means to collect every single phone call, text message, and email. The result would be an unprecedented system of mass surveillance with the ability to pry into the private lives of every person on earth. Six years later, Snowden reveals for the very first time how he helped to build this system and why he was moved to expose it.
Spanning the bucolic Beltway suburbs of his childhood and the clandestine CIA and NSA postings of his adulthood, Permanent Record is the extraordinary account of a bright young man who grew up online – a man who became a spy, a whistleblower, and, in exile, the Internet’s conscience. Written with wit, grace, passion, and an unflinching candor, Permanent Record is a crucial memoir of our digital age and destined to be a classic.

Fantastisk bog der fortæller Snowdens historie, men dom også kaster lys over det teknologiske fængsel vi alle befinder os i i dag.

Bogen starter ud lidt langsomt, men den sidste halvdel er bindende 😳

A must read for all prior readers of "1984", "Animal Farm" and "Brave new World". Dystopic, grave, full of love and hope.

Fantastisk bog, der beskriver hykleriet i USA, der sikrer magten hos de øverste 1 % - og meget mere, som vi ignorerer eller glemmer i VesteuropaYderligere kan Snowden citere / henvise til de forskellige amerikanske regler, der beviser, at alt, hvad han gjorde, var lovligt og ikke for ham at blive retsforfulgt for!!! Snowden er ikke bare indenfor skiven i ft moral men også jura Snowden er nødvendigvis nødt til, officielt og formelt, at være en syndebuk for at skræmme andre i USA fra at træde frem og sikre mere transparens i samfundet Er i nogle kapitler (for) meget fundamental i sine beskrivelser men det sikrer inden læser burde tabes i historien fra start til slut

Sjældent har jeg hørt så gennemtænkt og velargumenteret en bog fra en så ung hånd. Man kan ikke andet end skæve til vores lovgivere og håber de har forstand og viden til at lovgive indenfor tech og IT. Jeg tvivler.... Edward Snowden er en moderne modstandsmand og vaskeægte helt. Og så er han en gudbenådet fortæller.
