Winter Reading List

I just finished Colin Bennett's 2008 book, The Privacy Advocates, this morning on my way to work. As someone who has only come to information policy and privacy in the last 5 years, Bennett's chronology of the advocacy community's responses to various challenges was illuminating. I was really excited to read this book, because I was working on my MA thesis on a similar topic (but a very different scope) at much the same time. I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the anti-surveillance / privacy community for some reasoned reflection on (and appreciation for) the ongoing work they do.

The next book I re-"read" on my one and a half hour, twice a day commute to work might just be the new LibriVox audio book "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
