Data and Goliath
Bruce Schneier 2015
A fact-strewn mind dump by Schneier, describing the problem and suggesting political principles and action.
I'm not political or persuasive. I am inventive and clever. I read books like this hoping for clues for the design of spying-resistant architectures, protocols, and software. The facts are useful for that, I will encourage but not actively pursue the politics, though I encourage less-geeky/more-political fellow citizens to do so.
