What might a transcript of your Google searches from the past reveal about you? While ubiquitous surveillance is a relatively new phenomenon, we now carry tracking devices in our pockets, and corporations and the government unabashedly sweep up vast amounts of our personal information. In Dragnet Nation, Pulitzer Prize�"winning investigative journalist Julia Angwin details her failed attempt to keep her data private. At a time when privacy has become a luxury good, Angwin provides a sobering reflection on the extent �" and potential implications �" of this new normal.
