Permanent Record

"Six years after he spilled valuable secrets from the National Security Agency, Edward Snowden remains a deeply polarizing figure. In his memoir, Permanent Record, Snowden says he went public because the NSA went “from the targeted surveillance of individuals to the mass surveillance of entire populations.” His revelations started a national conversation and have led to reforms. However, critics in the national security community still regard him as a traitor. He still faces criminal charges in the U.S. and remains in limbo in Moscow. From his apartment there, he says, “I beam myself onto stages around the world, speaking about the protection of civil liberties in the digital age.”"

"The last great book I read was "Permanent Record," by Edward Snowden."
