This provocative book offers a probing account of the erosion of
privacy in American society, that shows that we are often
unwitting, if willing, accomplices, providing personal data in
exchange for security or convenience. The author reveals that in
today's "information society," the personal data that we make
available to virtually any organization for virtually any purpose
is apt to surface elsewhere, applied to utterly different purposes.
The mass collection and processing of personal information produces
such tremendous efficiencies that both the public and private
sector feel justified in pushing as far as they can into our
private lives. And there is no easy cure. Indeed, there are many
cases where privacy invasion is both hurtful to the individual and
indispensable to an organization's quest for efficiency. And as
long as we willingly accept the pursuit of profit, or the reduction
of crime, or cutting government costs as sufficient reason for
intensified scrutiny over our lives, then privacy will remain
endangered.
