Net Privacy: How we can be Free in an Age of Surveillance by Sacha Molitorisz

While more and more of us live our lives through the prism of the internet, it’s hard to fully grasp the enormity of the data collecting web that surrounds us. Third-party cookies, retargeted advertising, encrypted email services… it’s a wide world.

In Net Privacy, Molitorisz spells out practical ways to avoid an Orwellian future. Visit New South for more.

The Most Dangerous Man in America: Timothy Leary, Richard Nixon and the Hunt for the Fugitive King of LSD by Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis
