Although thought-provoking and wide-ranging, The Naked Crowd's central thesis (since security and privacy aren't necessarily competitive attributes, rational policymakers could find solutions that satisfy both requirements) seemed a little slight for even a couple hundred pages. Still, even the tenuously-related sections were insightful, particularly the last chapter. If only the people most in need of this book weren't also the least likely to read it.
