Overview

Over the last several years, the realm of technology and privacy has been transformed, creating a landscape that is both dangerous and encouraging. Significant changes include large increases in communications bandwidths; the widespread adoption of computer networking and public-key cryptography; new digital media that support a wide range of social relationships; a massive body of practical experience in the development and application of data-protection laws; and the rapid globalization of manufacturing, culture, and policy making. The essays in this book provide a new conceptual framework for the analysis and debate of privacy policy and for the design and development of information systems.

Editorial Reviews

Wired
A remarkably comprehensive and provocative collection of essays.
Library Journal
This is a collection of essays representing European, Canadian, and U.S. points of view on how technology is changing our understanding of what is private. Topics under review range from global policies for personal data, to privacy and multimedia, to privacy as a commodity rather than a right, to whether privacy is even possible in our postmodern world. While this is not easy reading, it is a solid, nonpolemical primer on a hugely important topic. Recommended for all academic libraries and most large public libraries.
