No Place to Hide

Es un libro muy interesante, nos hace realmente reflexionar sobre la vigilancia sin límites de los gobiernos. No se lleva las 5 estrellas porque su segunda mitad es muy repetitiva y además se aleja del tema central.

So I watched Citizen Four a while back, and think it helped in reading this. Though not nec. it certainly helped me remember parts of the documentary, as well as vicualize parts of the story as they unfolded.

That said, wow, good book. Scary, and pretty depressing, but good, and everyone should read it.

It's startling to see just how far our government (including the President i voted for and mostly love) has gone to erasing our privacy. How far in the pocket our journalists are, and how much we've willingly or otherwise given up in the name of (false) security.

Greenwald does an excellent job pointing out the lies (outright and by omission) our government and media have spread to convince us that we're somehow safer having either given up or (more often than not) had taken away our rights.

it's eye opening to see how bad it's gotten, and how completely untrustworthy our media is with regard to our government.

Everyone should read this so we can all agree on who the bad guys are.

It's a scary world we live in.

This is a great, brave work of journalism. An important, well-documented story told as a compelling, page-turning narrative. Greenwald especially does a great job of articulating WHY privacy matters, even for people who “have nothing to hide.” Highly recommended.

Crucial. Hyper-crucial. Should be required reading in all American high schools. What better lesson is there in civil disobedience, civic engagement, balancing security against liberties and privacy? What better lesson in the fourth (and fifth?) estates, and the importance of a free media? Also, how much more timely can you get?

In addition to that, it's an amazing human story, though Greenwald writes it with sobriety, clarity and modesty.
