"Living today means most of us must contend with things like workplace surveillance, cyberstalking, ransomware attacks, and facial recognition. But all is not lost when it comes to our privacy, and it's definitely not too late to do something about protecting yours. Written in blunt, jargon-free prose, On Privacy defines today's privacy landscape while also reminding readers of the joys of keeping things to ourselves: that privacy creates space for intimacy, is essential to mental health, and is a fundamental right in a free society. Explored among the book's twenty brief-but-powerful lessons are concepts like the Nothing-to-Hide Trap, how we become prisoners of our recorded past, and the ways that small data points about us can paint big, revealing pictures. Also included are explanations of how Big Brother is real, why we should insist on privacy by design, and how to make ensuring privacy something that is profitable. Each lesson ends with advice on both how to talk about a given aspect of privacy and how to take actionable steps to safeguard yourself. On Privacy is a small book with a big message about why privacy matters, who profits by invading it, and how best to defend yours in easy, everyday ways"--
