From Jack Goldsmith, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard Law School: “Byron Tau’s extraordinary book recounts in engrossing detail how the U.S. government exploits massive loopholes in U.S. surveillance law to purchase in vast digital bazaars the intimate personal data that Americans unwittingly spew from their phones, cars, and computers every minute of every day. Means of Control exposes how American surveillance capitalism breeds secret government surveillance on a scale never imagined.”
From Shane Harris, author of The Watchers: “A testament to the singular and indispensable power of journalism to shine light in the dark and find answers to the hardest questions.”
