Privacy is gravely endangered in the digital age, and we, the
digital citizens, are its principal threat, willingly surrendering
it to avail ourselves of new technology, and granting the
government and corporations immense power over us. In this highly
original work, Firmin DeBrabander begins with this premise and asks
how we can ensure and protect our freedom in the absence of
privacy. Can-and should-we rally anew to support this institution?
Is privacy so important to political liberty after all? DeBrabander
makes the case that privacy is a poor foundation for democracy,
that it is a relatively new value that has been rarely enjoyed
throughout history-but constantly persecuted-and politically and
philosophically suspect. The vitality of the public realm, he
argues, is far more significant to the health of our democracy, but
is equally endangered-and often overlooked-in the digital age.
