Summary:
"Starting in the early 1960s, there was fear in America about the proliferation of computer database and networking technologies. People worried that these systems were going to be used by both corporations and governments for
surveillance
and control. Indeed, the dominant cultural view at the time was that computers were tools of repression, not liberation, and that included the ARPANET, the
military
research network that would grow into the
Internet
we use today. This book starts in the past, but moves into the present, looking at the private
surveillance
business that powers much of Silicon
Valley
and the overlap between the
Internet
and the military-industrial complex. It also investigates and uncovers the close ties that exist between U.S. intelligence agencies and the anti-government privacy movement that has sprung up in the wake of Edward Snowden's leaks. The
Internet
was developed as a weapon, and remains a weapon today. American
military
interests continue to dominate all parts of the network, even those that supposedly stand in opposition. Yasha Levine is an investigative journalist for Pando Daily, a San Francisco-based news magazine"--Provided by publisher.
