"This is the first, and maybe the loudest, popular book on a crucial
technology of our times...all of it is fascinating, some is gross and
revolting, and most of it is hilarious... this is a masterpiece of technocriticism."
Spychips "make[s] a stunningly powerful argument against plans for RFID
being mapped out by government agencies, retail and manufacturing companies."
"The book makes a very persuasive case that some of America's biggest companies want to embed tracking technology into virtually everything we own, and then study our usage pattens 24 hours a day. It's a truly creepy book and well worth reading." –Hiawatha Bray, Boston Globe technology reporter "Brilliantly written...so full of fascinating vignettes and facts that I can't put it down." –Author Claire Wolfe "Spychips is one of the best privacy books in many years… The privacy movement needs a book. I nominate Spychips." –Marc Rotenberg, Executive Director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) |
