In May 2013, Glenn Greenwald set out for Hong Kong to meet an anonymous source who claimed to have astonishing evidence of pervasive government spying and insisted on communicating only through heavily encrypted channels. That source turned out to be the 29-year-old NSA contractor Edward Snowden, and his revelations about the agency’s widespread, systemic overreach proved to be some of the most explosive and consequential news in recent history, triggering a fierce debate over national security and information privacy. As the arguments rage on and the government considers various proposals for reform, it is clear that we have yet to see the full impact of Snowden’s disclosures.
Now for the first time, Greenwald fits all the pieces together, recounting his high-intensity ten-day trip to Hong Kong, examining the broader implications of the surveillance detailed in his reporting for The Guardian, and revealing fresh information on the NSA’s unprecedented abuse of power with never-before-seen documents entrusted to him by Snowden himself.
Going beyond NSA specifics, Greenwald also takes on the establishment media, excoriating their habitual avoidance of adversarial reporting on the government and their failure to serve the interests of the people. Finally, he asks what it means both for individuals and for a nation’s political health when a government pries so invasively into the private lives of its citizens—and considers what safeguards and forms of oversight are necessary to protect democracy in the digital age. Coming at a landmark moment in American history, No Place to Hide is a fearless, incisive, and essential contribution to our understanding of the U.S. surveillance state.

格伦·格林沃德(Glenn Greenwald)兼具戏剧家的激情和批评家的冷静。作为一名资深记者,他知道何时该将镜头拉近,审视这出微型戏剧里的每一个角色,何时又该将镜头推远,籍由这面“棱镜”透视公共权力对个人隐私日夜不停的窥伺。他尊重事实,同时也深知如果事实不能唤起行动,一...

评分前面还挺好看的。也可能是我英语水平不好,后面写得很长,但意思差不多,比较凌乱。和电影穿插看,好懂。
评分其实可以重点看看第五和第六部分。前面两部分讲述的是作者作为一个拖延癌如何差点耽误了人家斯诺登。
评分按照anderson cooper的说法,对massive surveillance 这个题材本身不感兴趣的读者也会觉得是如同在读一本惊险的侦探小说后喜欢上它~~大Glenn实在是extremely aggressive, investigative and diligent!只是,作为也许是现在世界上the busiest journalist, 我就是想知道他有没有任何可能来趟中国讲演一下。。。
评分“The true measurement of a person’s worth isn’t what they say they believe in, but what they do in defense of those beliefs,” he said. “If you’re not acting on your beliefs, then they probably aren’t real.”
评分Glenn Greenwald my hero.
