About this listen

This short, powerful book provides practical advice on how to protect yourself in the information age.

Living today means most of us must contend with things like workplace surveillance, cyberstalking, ransomware attacks, and facial recognition. But it's not too late to protect our privacy. Written in blunt, jargon-free prose, On Privacy defines today’s privacy landscape while also reminding listeners of the joys of keeping things to ourselves—that privacy creates space for intimacy, is essential to mental health, and is a fundamental right in a free society.

Explored among the book's lessons are concepts like:

.The Nothing-to-Hide Trap
.How we become prisoners of our recorded past
.The ways small data points about us can paint revealing pictures
.How Big Brother is in fact real
.Why we should insist on privacy by design
.How to make ensuring privacy something that is profitable.

Each lesson ends with advice on how to talk about a given aspect of privacy and how to take actionable steps to safeguard yourself. On Privacy is small book with a big message about why privacy matters, who profits by invading it, and how best to defend yours in easy, everyday ways.
