Product Description
Product Description
RFID, which stands for Radio Frequency Identification, is a technology that uses computer chips smaller than a grain of sand to track items from a distance. And as this mind-blowing book explains, plans and efforts are being made now by global corporations and the U.S government to turn this advanced technology, these spychips, into a way to track our daily activities - and keep us all on Big Brother's short leash. Compiling massive amounts of research with firsthand knowledge, "Spychips" explains RFID technology and reveals the history and future of the master planners' strategies to imbed these trackers on everything - from postage stamps to shoes to people themselves - and spy on Americans without our knowledge or consent. It also urgently encourages consumers to take action now - to protect their privacy and civil liberties before it's too late.
