Habeas Data

If you are at all interested in technology and justice; specifically criminal justice Farivar's book is a must read. This isn't an opinion piece but page after page and chapter after chapter well thought out and researched journalism often very well supported by case law. Farivar explores the intersection between our laws and our technology. He calls out the different interpretations of the laws and the uses of new technologies. This is an important book that legal, law enforcement, and technologists should all read.

An excellent overview of ten very important but little known court cases that have shaped privacy rights as we know them. These cases have defined the laws that govern our right to privacy. It shows clearly how they have failed to keep up in the ever evolving technological world we live in.Cyrus has done an absolutely wonderful job interviewing and researching these historic court cases.

My book club is reading this book and so far it's good. A couple of the books were delivered dirty and damaged. The photo attached is the second worst one received. I did not notify Amazon as there were only a couple books left in stock and I figured the rest would be similar quality.

I bought this book because I felt it would be a fun read I just wanted to understand more about privacy but this books covers the laws formed over the years.

Overview of recent history and where we stand today in regards to personal privacy and high tech. Accessible reading for the non-technical, and a call to action (in my mind) to start examining what our elected lawmakers are doing to protect our right to privacy online.
