This is a great book for both the hardcore survivalist and the everyday person worried about privacy. Full of practical and useful tips I highly recommend this book to anyone. If anything, this book has too much useful information! I know I will be re - reading it for years to come.
Great on all accounts August 11, 2009

I couldn't put this book down. Boston T. Party does an excellent job like always. The thing I love about all his books is he provides levels...
What I mean by that is yes, you could take this as a paranoid craziness tinfoil hat mania. Perhaps, if you take every suggestion, tactic, strategy and tip to it's most extreme level, you might be a total recluse. But even Boston doesn't suggest that. Some of the chapters you'll want to take to the extreme, some you'll glance over, and others you'll find some middle ground. Use what fits into your life and what you're willing to do, as much or as little as you want. The end result will certainly be a more private, more aware and safer you, no matter how far you take things.
In case you haven't gotten it so far, I highly recommend this, and all, of Boston's books.

...this one delivers. A much needed update of an older privacy book, this one covers all the bases. I found myself reading it through once for the general drift and then again slowly to absorb the detail.
The Linux chapter alone is worth the price of admission but by far the most surprising chapter deals with sociopathic behavior. Reading and coming to grips with what the author is saying about this sick cross section of so called humanity will shine a light on the previously obscured.
Chock full of useful information it belongs in the hands of all privacy lovers and, most especially, in the hands of those who think privacy isn't important.
Explains not just how, but why. August 10, 2009

Fantastic book! Detailed, up-to-date, and does a great job of showing you not just HOW to protect your privacy, but WHY you should. (Frankly, if you aren't convinced as to the "why", you will never make the sacrifices the "how" requires to maintain privacy). Buy this book and starts applying what it teaches NOW while you can still do so, the information is perishable and the few loopholes that are left will continue to be closed.

If you going to buy this book prepare to wade through an ocean of paranoia to get to the few islands of sanity.
I have read 3 other books by the author and this one is by far the worst written. Mostly formatting and inclusion of random blog entries
On a positive side the chapter on the Internet security is definitely worth reading. The chapter on recognizing sociopaths is less so but is entertaining. However, positive aspects are almost out weighted by author's veiled allegations of 9/11 conspiracy and whole big evil government in general. Recommend with reservations
