Permanent Record by Edward Snowden Book Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Edward Snowden, the man who risked everything to expose the US government’s system of mass surveillance, reveals for the first time the story of his life, including how he helped to build that system and what motivated him to try to bring it down.

In 2013, twenty-nine-year-old Edward Snowden shocked the world when he broke with the American intelligence establishment and revealed that the United States government was secretly pursuing the means to collect every single phone call, text message, and email. The result would be an unprecedented system of mass surveillance with the ability to pry into the private lives of every person on earth. Six years later, Snowden reveals for the very first time how he helped to build this system and why he was moved to expose it.

Spanning the bucolic Beltway suburbs of his childhood and the clandestine CIA and NSA postings of his adulthood, Permanent Record is the extraordinary account of a bright young man who grew up online—a man who became a spy, a whistleblower, and, in exile, the Internet’s conscience. Written with wit, grace, passion, and an unflinching candor, Permanent Record is a crucial memoir of our digital age and destined to be a classic.

Exceptional. What a remarkable journey! Truly one of the most thought-provoking, chill-inducing books I have ever read. Thank you Ed for you service to the citizenry, both foreign and domestic, and for your unwavering courage to put the interests of the voiceless before your own.

Incredible book. An incredible account by an incredible individual -- we're all indebted to Ed for the risk he took and the unjust consequences he continues to face. In a rational world he would be welcomed home to a parade, acclaim and a pardon. A hero and an American Patriot by any real definition.

Permanent Record. An awesome read- thank you Ed Snowden!

Great Book!. I really enjoyed this book.

Devine Hero. Very few people who will actually sacrifice their life for the good of others “ divine hero”

Extremely important book if you only know what was reported. Hearing Edward Joseph Snowden’s story in his own words can only deepen your resolve to steadfastly challenge the authoritarian deep state. I feel shame that a state I had supported at one time would do this to my fellow countryman. And I wish Mr. Snowden the happiest life he can possibly achieve.

permanent record. an excellent book-- although i am older than the author, i also enjoyed the world that he grew up in, video games to computers to the internet and on-- yes, 9/11 changed all and we became fractured in our demand for an impossible return to normality-- edward saw the darkest side and thankfully he didn't keep it to himself-- an excellent writer-- i look forward to further works--

Permanent Record. Incredible account by an incredible person. We need more of those ...

Must read. This is an amazing book. Mr. Snowden has a very solid prose. Very detailed telling of one of the major crimes committed by an American Government Agency on American people. The bravery it took expose the truth at the age of 26, and it’s aftermath. Read the book, and encrypt your SSD.

Great reads peaceful eye binded.. Seriously write this book again society I had to accept that it mind controlled me and I know it can be on paper and for a few pages I accepted the mind control sequence. It even notice thing about me because of word structure #programming. I had to use my video gaming skills. $$$/?$() PRODIGY Personally I decided my arrest next year are corporate and society economic scenarios even in astral projection. @stanford @edx BME EE Holistic healer schooling for life. Oh btw I’m deputized as a time time travel deputy. Even amongst ‘RANK’ and regular governments. I’m a Buddhist Christianity was a fail as safe for me and I know The Great Spirit is the come down. Structure is art now. Checks I still own a keyboard and always will. #E.U bound Aztec Indian apprentice. This book was my blockchain just an option but serious. God bless you and please close all the boards Edward Snowden caution #COVID-19

Death of Privacy. Snowden in his memoir and tell all, points out a critical tipping point in American History that impacts the collective freedom of everyone everywhere. 9-11. A moment where we could focus on punishing the parties responsible and cementing democratic freedoms. We of course went the other way. The outcome of that decision is the mobilization of technology to erode privacy and freedom unbeknownst to the citizens subject to it. What makes this account moving is that Snowden gives us a linear retelling of his life. Subsequently the events and influences that formed him and his decision to become the whistleblower on the NSA’s illegal and unwarranted surveillance of the world. Additionally, he pulls in historical precepts and the US constitution to illustrate the original intention of government and its recent perversion. An indictment more damning than anything the government could ever throw at him for his revelations. The details explained in this memoir are intricately and slowly paced out so that we feel some of the slow erosion of confidence and faith in the current state of democratic freedoms that Snowden experienced over his decade of working behind the scenes. The style helps us better empathize with what must have been the hardest decision of his life. A decision that he knew would exile him and make him public enemy number one. Further deepening the divide on whether you support or oppose his decision. It’s not all doom and gloom. Snowden offers us some optimism and tools for understanding how to take back freedoms. What’s more, he discusses the stance of companies like Apple, Signal, and WhatsApp to enforce encryption and scale back government corporation. But when you look at Snowden’s simpler reflections on his life you can tease out a thread that may hold the ultimate self determining pathway through a simple hack; a less unhealthy reliance on technology in our daily lives. Along with the idea that anonymity on the web should be the default state.

Permanent Record. Fascinating read by a true hero. Thank you, Ed Snowden.

Pretty dry.. Really dry haha. Proud of his decisions and courage to speak up but very boring minus a few spots.

Very good choice if you’re thinking about reading. Very captivating I honestly got lost in this book and loved the journey through and through

7 stars, not 3!. Must have mistyped. This is a must read.
