How does our government eavesdrop? Whom do they eavesdrop on? And is the interception of communication an effective means of predicting and preventing future attacks? These are some of the questions at the heart of Patrick Radden Keefes brilliant new book, Chatter -- a bold and distinctive book, part detective story, part travel-writing, part essay on paranoia and secrecy in a digital age. Provocative, often funny, and alarming without being alarmist, Chatter is a journey through a bizarre and shadowy world with vast implications for our security as well as our privacy. |
