In No Place to Hide, award-winning Washington Post
reporter Robert O'Harrow, Jr., pulls back the curtain on an
unsettling trend: the emergence of a data-driven
surveillance society intent on giving us the conveniences
and services we crave, like cell phones, discount cards, and
electronic toll passes, while watching us more closely than
ever before. He shows that since the September 11, 2001,
terror attacks, the information industry giants have been
enlisted as private intelligence services for homeland
security. And at a time when companies routinely collect
billions of details about nearly every American adult, No
Place to Hide shines a bright light on the sorry state
of information security, revealing how people can lose
control of their privacy and identities at any moment.
Now with a new afterword that details the latest security
breaches and the government's failing efforts to stop them,
O'Harrow shows us that, in this new world of high-tech
domestic intelligence, there is literally no place to hide.
