Omtale fra forlaget
Edward Snowden, the man who risked everything to expose the US government's system of mass surveillance, reveals for the first time the story of his life, including how he helped to build that system and what motivated him to try to bring it down.
In 2013, twenty-nine-year-old Edward Snowden shocked the world when he broke with the American intelligence establishment and revealed that the United States government was secretly pursuing the means to collect every single phone call, text message, and email. The result would be an unprecedented system of mass surveillance with the ability to pry into the private lives of every person on earth. Six years later, Snowden reveals for the very first time how he helped to build this system and why he was moved to expose it.
Spanning the bucolic Beltway suburbs of his childhood and the clandestine CIA and NSA postings of his adulthood, Permanent Record is the extraordinary account of a bright young man who grew up online - a man who became a spy, a whistleblower, and, in exile, the Internet's conscience. Written with wit, grace, passion, and an unflinching candor, Permanent Record is a crucial memoir of our digital age and destined to be a classic.

Likte boken godt. Det er ikke noen store overraskelser for min del, men det er skummelt at Snowden bekrefter det. Man må også tenke på at det er lenge siden han opplevde dette og med den utviklingen som er på IT området er det forferdelig å tenke seg hvor vi er i dag. Husk det er snart 10 år siden han gikk ut med dette. Den var godt skrevet og anbefales, men ikke hvis du er redd for overvåkning etc
