Winner of the Lysander Spooner Award for Advancing the Literature of Liberty This is the first, and maybe the loudest, popular book on a crucial technology of our times; a masterpiece of technocriticism. --from the foreword by bestselling author Bruce Sterling One of the best privacy books in many years... The privacy movement needs a book. I nominate Spychips. --Marc Rotenberg, Executive Director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) The book makes a very persuasive case that some of America's biggest companies want to embed tracking technology into virtually everything we own, and then study our usage patterns 24 hours a day. It's a truly creepy book and well worth reading. --Hiawatha Bray, The Boston Globe Provocative... Albrecht and McIntyre have a knack for finding information, and developing sources that make them the envy of investigative reporters. --Chicago Sun-Times Paints a 1984-ish picture of how corporations would like to use RFID tags to keep tabs on you. --The Associated Press A chilling story about an emerging future in which spychips run amok as Big Brother and Big Shopkeeper invade our privacy in unprecedented ways. --Chicago Tribune
