“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.

Edward Snowden, the man who risked everything to expose the US government’s system of mass surveillance, reveals for the first time the story of his life, including how he helped to build that system and what motivated him to try to bring it down.
In 2013, twenty-nine-year-old Edward Snowden shocked the world when he broke with the American intelligence establishment and revealed that the United States government was secretly pursuing the means to collect every single phone call, text message, and email. The result would be an unprecedented system of mass surveillance with the ability to pry into the private lives of every person on earth. Six years later, Snowden reveals for the very first time how he helped to build this system and why he was moved to expose it.
Spanning the bucolic Beltway suburbs of his childhood and the clandestine CIA and NSA postings of his adulthood, Permanent Record is the extraordinary account of a bright young man who grew up online—a man who became a spy, a whistleblower, and, in exile, the Internet’s conscience. Written with wit, grace, passion, and an unflinching candor, Permanent Record is a crucial memoir of our digital age and destined to be a classic.
