PERMANENT RECORD - EDWARD SNOWDEN KARTONIERT (TB)

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. Now  Snowden reveals for the 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 candour  Permanent Record is a crucial memoir of our digital age and destined to be
a classic.  'Fascinating' Observer  'Riveting' Financial Times  'Gripping' Washington Post 
'Reads like a literary thriller' New York Times
