Book Reviews of Bulletproof Privacy: How to Live Hidden, Happy and Free!
Book Review: It's the lifestyle and the attitude. Privacy is difficult.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. While it's in need of an update (1996) the ideas and attitudes are very much on target. Privacy is very much attitude and habit, not so much technique and "tricks" that will keep you private. I appreciate the fact that time after time, the point is made that privacy is difficult and expensive. Sure, it's easy to live in a fishbowl, but if you want privacy you have to be ready to work for it.
I especially enjoyed the historical examples and discussion, explaining how others had messed up and what that mistake did to them. It only takes one mistake to wreck your plans, and a VERY determined tracker will have years to look at the leads and wait for mistakes. The book is a great primer for anyone wanting a more private life, but we live in the age of dataveillance and it's almost an all or nothing game anymore.
The book is also applicable to folks who want to cut loose and start over somewhere else. Think about it... if your child was looking at a long stay in prison for growing a few pot plants in his apartment, and had the chance to jump bail, what would this book be worth? A lot. The problem is that most people never realize the need for this type of information until something really bad happens to them, and at that point they have very few options.
There are options, and they get discussed.
If I were in charge of updating the book, one of the longest of the "new" chapters would discuss how to secure a computer... I'd also include a chapter on secure communication over the internet, because it's obvious that communications with family and friends is the single biggest mistake that most people on the run will make. I'd also include a chapter on anonymous digital money such as the Digital Gold Currencies like E-Gold and Pecunix.
All in all, though, BulletProof Privacy is still one of the best books on privacy out there.
