Summary

Data is everywhere. We create it every time we go online, turn our phones on (or off), and pay with credit cards. The data is stored, studied, and bought and sold by corporations and governments for surveillance and for control. "Foremost security expert" (Wired) and best-selling author Bruce Schneier shows how this data has led to a double-edged Internet - a Web that gives power to the people but is abused by the institutions on which those people depend.

In Data and Goliath, Schneier reveals the full extent of surveillance, censorship, and propaganda in society today, examining the risks of cybercrime, cyberterrorism, and cyberwar. He shares technological, legal, and social solutions that can help shape a more equal, private, and secure world. This is an audiobook to which everyone with an Internet connection - or bank account or smart device or car, for that matter - needs to listen.

scary and eye opening

Depressingly scary accounts of how we are being spied on, how the powers are already being abused and how mass surveillance doesn't even work for its stated purposes.

An important topic for everyone today

This book offers us a deep insight into exactly why our data and personal data should be important to us and why we must safe guard it ourselves as much as possible and demand transparency with what is done with our data by others. Very interesting and especially interesting for IT students too. I will listen again.

Enlightening book; performance not great

Would you consider the audio edition of Data and Goliath to be better than the print version?

No

How could the performance have been better?

It would be better if the reader sounded like they understood the subject, the vocabulary and terms. I thought it was a poor recording overall and took away from my enjoyment of the book

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me scared about my privacy
