Permanent Record

“Permanent Record (PB) – C-format” er whistleblower Edward Snowdens banebrydende memoir. Bogen handler om en mand opvokset i den digitale tidsalder, hans vej til spionage og til sidst en tilværelse i eksil. År 2013 var det år, hvor Snowden chokerede verden med en af vores tids største afsløringer. Nu seks år senere fortæller han hele historien.

Snowdens selv var med til at opbygge det selv samme system, han senere afslørede. Regeringen var i al hemmelighed ved at indsamle information gennem telefonopkald, sms’er og e-mail. Resultatet ville være blevet et totalitært overvågningssamfund.

Det er en underholdende, morsom og frem for alt ærlig fortælling. I “Permanent Record (PB) – C-format” beretter Edward Snowden om sin motivation til at afsløre den amerikanske stats forsøg på at skabe et masseovervågningssystem.
