Glenn Greenwalds reporting on the NSA—based on leaked information from Edward Snowden—decisively changed how Americans view the U.S. surveillance state. In his new book No Place to Hide, Greenwald takes on a mainstream press eager and willing to defend and serve power, the U.S. militarys network of corporate partnerships, and the hyper-secretive world of the NSA, showing an agency with little oversight, vast capabilities and an insatiable hunger to spy on everyone and everything. And he makes heartfelt and convincing appeals about the importance of privacy—and the unique danger of widespread online surveillance. “To permit surveillance to take root on the Internet would mean subjecting virtually all forms of human interaction, planning and even thought itself to comprehensive state examination.”
