Customer Reviews

Really well-researched book; very interesting too.

This book is really very interesting, and well written. I borrowed it from our HP Labs Research Library. The scope of the book is privacy rights, but the applications of these rights are far and wide. The author explains each area well, and describes what the laws are, what the challenges to the laws have been, and how each area of privacy rights relates to the way we live. Topics include DNA, abortion rights, availability of birth control (starting way back in the 1930's), job applications, and many other areas where our personal data is given and/or stored. I recommend this book whole-heartedly.
