Rapid technological innovation is moving us towards a world of ubiquitous computing-a world in which we are surrounded by smart machines that are always on, always aware, and always monitoring us. These developments will create a world virtually without secrets in which information is widely available and analyzable worldwide. This environment will certainly affect business, government, and the individual alike, dramatically affecting the way organizations and individuals interact. This book explores the implications of the coming world and suggests and explores policy options that can protect individuals and organizations from exploitation and safeguard the implicit contract between employees, businesses, and society itself.

I'm really not that paranoid, but found this book to be (mostly) well-written and thought provoking. Mr. Hunter relies on some pretty common stories of identity theft and the like but it's the overall picture he paints that is interesting. One forgets, in the normal course of life, how often we do things - type in passwords, log onto computers, pass through secured portals (work, school, etc.), pay with traceable items like checks and plastic - that pinpoint where we are and what we are doing. I fully support the librarians (my own "profession") for their outspoken opposition to the USA Patriot Act and General Ashcroft. At least I know one segment of my life is protected from unmonitored invasion.
