DATA AND GOLIATH
The Hidden Battles to Capture your Data and Control your World
A leading expert on internet security takes a clear, precise, and ultimately shocking look at the ways corporations and governments track and control us, and the ways we can fight back.
Even though the internet favours decentralized groups and inverts power dynamics, institutional powers are winning the battle for power - and winning big.
Data is everywhere. We create it every time we go online, turn our phone on (or off!), or pay with a credit card. This data is stored, studied, and bought and sold by corporations and governments for surveillance and for control. “Foremost security expert” (Wired) and best-selling author Bruce Schneier shows how this data has led to a double-edged Internet—a Web that gives power to the people but is abused by the institutions on which those people depend.
In Data and Goliath, Schneier reveals the full extent of surveillance, censorship, and propaganda in society today, examining the risks of cybercrime, cyberterrorism, and cyberwar. He shares technological, legal, and social solutions that can help shape a more equal, private, and secure world. This is a book everyone with an Internet connection—or bank account, or smart device, or car, for that matter—needs to read.
Bruce Schneier is a security technologist and best-selling author. He is a Fellow at Harvard University and the CTO of Co3 Systems, serves on the board of directors for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and is a frequent commentator on these issues. His very influential web newsletter may be found at https://www.schneier.com/
