Philip Dossick: The Naked Citizen: Notes on Privacy in the Twenty-First Century
About this ebook
The trend toward constant surveillance is disturbing.
Supporters often argue, “If you're obeying the law, you have nothing to fear.”
But is that really true?
While many refuse to acknowledge the possibility of an worldwide Orwellian nightmare, others know that creeping totalitarianism thrives best when it moves quietly in the shadows.
In the 1970’s, the idea of a national identification card was floated, which led to great protest. We no longer need a national identity card: it already exists. It’s your phone.
In his prophetic The Naked Citizen, Philip Dossick points an ominous warning finger at how our civil rights are at risk and need to be protected against the abuses of illicit surveillance.
