"In his new book...Garfinkel launches into a meticulous examination of the seemingly endless ways in which our privacy is under attack. This isn't simply another cautionary tale about the Internet. Garfinkel has the historical vision and storytelling chops...to stitch together an exhaustive range of topics--medical records, biological warfare, United Parcel Service's package tracking system, even satellite pictures of Earth--into a panoply of privacy concerns....For all but the most studied privacy expert, DATABASE NATION will provide not only valuable history and insight, but a rousing call to arms."
Alex Lash, Industry Standard, 02/14/2000
Review:"[In this book], Garfinkel takes a clear, and I believe highly defensible position: 'unrestrained technology ends privacy'....Although at time readers may feel as though they are embarked on a high-speed journey through a database nightmare, the anecdotal evidence of abuses that Garfinkel presents is compelling. Moreover, the connection he makes between technology and market forces as the twin culprits is tightly forged....[T]his book has the potential to help raise awareness among policymakers and the general public alike of the existing and emerging threats to privacy and of the steps that need to be taken to keep privacy alive and well."
Priscilla Regan, Issues in Science & Technology, Summer 2000

Database Nation: The Death of Privacy in the 21st Century (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780596001056) Garfinkel, Simson Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: O'Reilly Media, Inc, USA, United States, 2001. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 229 x 154 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Fifty years ago, in "1984", George Orwell imagined a future in which privacy was demolished by a totalitarian state that used spies, video surveillance, historical revisionism, and control over the media to maintain its power. Those who worry about personal privacy and identity - especially in this day of technologies that encroach upon these rights - still use Orwell's "Big Brother" language to discuss privacy issues. But the reality is that the age of a monolithic Big Brother is over. And yet the threats are perhaps even more likely to destroy the rights we've assumed were ours. "Database Nation: The Death of Privacy in the 21st Century" shows how, in these early years of the 21st century, advances in technology endanger our privacy in ways never before imagined. Direct marketers and retailers track our every purchase; surveillance cameras observe our movements; mobile phones will soon report our location to those who want to track us; government eavesdroppers listen in on private communications; misused medical records turn our bodies and our histories against us; and linked databases assemble detailed consumer profiles used to predict and influence our behaviour.Privacy - the most basic of our civil rights - is in grave peril. Simson Garfinkel - journalist, entrepreneur, and international authority on computer security - has devoted his career to testing new technologies and warning about their implications. This revised update of the hardcover edition of "Database Nation" is his account of how invasive technologies will affect our lives in the coming years. It's a timely, far-reaching, entertaining, and thought-provoking look at the serious threats to privacy facing us today. The book poses a disturbing question: how can we protect our basic rights to privacy, identity, and autonomy when technology is making invasion and control easier than ever before? Garfinkel's blend of journalism, storytelling, and futurism is a call to arms. It aims to frighten, entertain, and ultimately convince us that we must take action now to protect our privacy and identity before it's too late.
