As many as 1.4 million citizens with security clearance saw some or all of the same documents revealed by Edward Snowden. Why did he, and no one else, decide to step forward and take on the risks associated with becoming a whistleblower and then a fugitive? Rall delves into Snowden's early life and work experience, his personality, and the larger issues of privacy, new surveillance technologies, and the recent history of government intrusion. Rall describes Snowden's political vision and hopes for the future. This book tells two stories: Snowden's, and a larger one that describes all of us on the threshold of tremendous technological upheaval and political change.

Work Description
From back cover: Edward James Snowden [worked] as a systems administrator at the National Security Agency's office in Honolulu. He had a cute house and a beautiful girlfriend. He lived in paradise. One day, he went to the airport. He took with him thousands of highly classified files: documents that proved the NSA was listening to every phone call and reading every e-mail in America. Wihin weeks, he would be the world's most wanted cybercriminal -- and its biggest hero. ... Ted Rall tells Snowden's amazing story.
