Non-Fiction

An examination of privacy and the evolution of communication, from broken sealing wax to high-tech wiretapping

American Privacy traces the lineage of cultural norms and legal mandates that have swirled around the Fourth Amendment since its adoption. Legally, technologically, and historically grounded, this vivid and penetrating exploration that in the words of people’s historian Howard Zinn, “challenges us to defend our most basic rights.”
