Spanning the bucolic suburbs of childhood to the clandestine CIA and NSA postings of his adulthood, Permanent Record is the extraordinary account of Edward Snowden, a bright young man who grew up online, became a spy, a whistleblower, and (while in exile) the Internet's conscience.
Written with wit, grace, passion, and unflinching candor, Permanent Record is a crucial memoir of the digital age.
“Gripping ... Snowden demonstrates a knack for explaining in lucid and compelling language the inner workings of [CIA and NSA] systems and the menace he came to believe they posed.” -- The Washington Post
