Product Description

Review

Timely and balanced, their book The Spy in the Coffee Machine is a scary treatise about the way technology has eroded privacy and continues to do so … The chief lesson of this excellent and potent short book is that we have to learn how to live with these actualities. --A. C. Grayling, The New Scientist

Fred Piper, Director of the Royal Holloway Information Security Group, University of London.

"Worried about the potential effect of new digital technologies on your personal privacy? Providing the most up-to-date information on this fascinating debate, the authors explore how technology has been infiltrating and changing our society."

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging and enlightening, 12 Oct 2008
This review is from: The Spy in the Coffee Machine: The End of Privacy as We Know It (Paperback)
This writing is thankfully up-to-date and does a good job of demystifying some of the jargon bandied about in our increasingly connected world. All in all it's a very readable, engaging attempt to make sense of the steady erosion of privacy in an increasingly technological world, and the steps we might take to prevent that erosion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary!, 21 Oct 2010
This review is from: The Spy in the Coffee Machine: The End of Privacy as We Know It (Paperback)
I would tell you just how great this book is, how timely a warning it is about the continued erosion of our freedom of expression and how it's far too late to do anything about it. But they're watching me...
