Whether through your phone or your car or your credit card, caught on a CCTV camera or tracked through your online viewing history, government agencies know where you are, and are quietly collecting your most intimate, mundane, and personal information.<\/p>\n

Is this even legal?<\/p>\n

Habeas Data<\/em>\u00a0shows how the explosive growth of surveillance technology has outpaced our understanding of the ethics, mores, and laws of privacy.<\/p>\n

Award-winning tech reporter Cyrus Farivar makes the case by taking ten historic court decisions that defined our privacy rights and matching them against the capabilities of modern technology. It\u2019s an approach that combines the charge of a legal thriller with the shock of the daily headlines.<\/p>\n

Chapters include: the 1960s prosecution of\u00a0a gambler that established the\u00a0\u201creasonable expectation of privacy\u201d in nonpublic places beyond\u00a0your home (but how does that ruling\u00a0apply now, when police can chart your every move and hear your every conversation within your own home \u2014 without even having to enter it?); the 1970s case where the police monitored a lewd caller\u00a0\u2014\u00a0the decision of which is now the linchpin of the NSA\u2019s controversial metadata tracking program revealed by Edward Snowden; and a 2010 low-level burglary trial that revealed police had tracked a defendant\u2019s past 12,898 locations before arrest \u2014 an invasion of privacy grossly out of proportion to the alleged crime, which showed how authorities are all too willing to take advantage of the ludicrous gap between the slow pace of legal reform and the rapid transformation of technology.<\/p>\n

A dazzling expos\u00e9 that journeys from Oakland, California\u00a0to\u00a0the halls of the Supreme Court to the back of a squad car,\u00a0Habeas Data<\/em>\u00a0combines deft reportage, deep research, and original interviews to offer an X-ray diagnostic of our current surveillance state.<\/p>\n

PRAISE FOR CYRUS FARIVAR & HABEAS DATA<\/p>\n

“[A] lively history.”
\n\u2014 <\/span>The New Yorker<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

“A lively catalog of privacy-related court cases and laws that have arisen alongside new technologies.”
\n\u2014 The New York Review of Books<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Farivar’s work is essential, smart and cogent.”
\n\u2014 Cory Doctorow,<\/a> co-editor, Boing Boing<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

“Habeas Data<\/i>\u00a0should be required reading for all public officials who want to better understand the near-future of privacy and surveillance.”
\n<\/span>\u2014 Libby Schaaf<\/a>,\u00a0Mayor of Oakland, California<\/em><\/p>\n

“A great book. Cyrus Farivar shows that the government, at all levels, needs to be more forthright about what kind of surveillance is used on all of us. The law desperately needs to catch up.”
\n\u2014 Ted Lieu<\/a>, U.S. Representative for California’s 33rd congressional district<\/em><\/p>\n

“Cyrus Farivar pulls back the curtain on how the government has transformed everyday technologies into surveillance machines, and public and private places into surveillance traps\u2014part deep-dive into how everything from your smartphone to your home can be used as a surveillance tool, and part crash-course in the court cases that both help and fail to constrain the government’s most privacy-invasive activities.”
\n\u2014\u00a0Robyn Greene<\/a>, policy counsel, Open Technology Institute at New America<\/em><\/p>\n

“Essential reading for anyone concerned with how technology has overrun privacy.”
\n\u2014 Mitch Kapor<\/a>, co-founder, Electronic Frontier Foundation<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

“A powerful book that looks at how two invisible forces\u2014law and technology\u2014combine to change the world we live in and the future that is available to us.”
\n\u2014 Matt Mitchell<\/a>, founder, CryptoHarlem<\/em><\/p>\n

“Cyrus Farivar has covered the excitement and tensions of big data collection for years. He is perfectly positioned, with this new book, to chart the history that brought us here and suss out where we’re going next.”
\n\u2014 Emily Bazelon<\/a>, author of Sticks and Stones; co-host of Slate\u2019s Political Gabfest<\/em><\/p>\n
