Name: Permanent record
Author: Edward Snowden
Release date: 17th September 2019
Privacy is a myth.
Data is the new oil.
Mass surveillance systems are implemented across the globe.
Ever heard these headlines?
Ever wondered how this international movement started?
What made it must for the EU to implement GDPR?
If you are thinking this is impossible, then you are wrong. Edward Snowden is an American whistleblower who exposed mass surveillance systems in the American intelligence community back in 2013.
This is a book telling the story of his life, the boy born when the internet has just begun, his first hack international research lab, and journey office technological development is described in this book.
Things that this made me thought about are internet, online communications, hacking, cloud data storage, penetration of digital life into human lives, digitalization of the human experiences and much more.
It's not the thing that I have not thought about all these things earlier but the perspective he has described surely makes one think about it.
When he came to know about the mass surveillance in these intelligence communities, she became impatient and started thinking about how we can stop all this surveillance or at least spread awareness among the public.
That's when you design a program called "Heartbeat", for which your system administrator and could read all the documents the system have.
If one is curious about why privacy is important and how it is almost impossible to keep your data private in this technological sophisticated digital world, he/she must read this book.
This book gives some thoughtful insights into the CIA, NSA and US intelligence community.
Have you ever wondered what privacy meant to you?

It takes great courage to stand against and expose the joint intelligence agencies, to fight against the world superpower alone and as per me, Edward Snowden is a marvellous example of how one can stand against the wrong being executed on the high scale.It gives me courage, inspires me to make the bold moves just to change the unchanging pre-established systems.
