内容简介

In May 2013, Glenn Greenwald set out for Hong Kong to meet an anonymous source who claimed to have astonishing evidence of pervasive government spying and insisted on communicating only through heavily encrypted channels. That source turned out to be the 29-year-old NSA contractor Edward Snowden, and his revelations about the agency’s widespread, systemic overreach proved to be some of the most explosive and consequential news in recent history, triggering a fierce debate over national security and information privacy. As the arguments rage on and the government considers various proposals for reform, it is clear that we have yet to see the full impact of Snowden’s disclosures.

Now for the first time, Greenwald fits all the pieces together, recounting his high-intensity ten-day trip to Hong Kong, examining the broader implications of the surveillance detailed in his reporting for The Guardian, and revealing fresh information on the NSA’s unprecedented abuse of power with never-before-seen documents entrusted to him by Snowden himself.

Going beyond NSA specifics, Greenwald also takes on the establishment media, excoriating their habitual avoidance of adversarial reporting on the government and their failure to serve the interests of the people. Finally, he asks what it means both for individuals and for a nation’s political health when a government pries so invasively into the private lives of its citizens—and considers what safeguards and forms of oversight are necessary to protect democracy in the digital age. Coming at a landmark moment in American history, No Place to Hide is a fearless, incisive, and essential contribution to our understanding of the U.S. surveillance state.

在酒吧看到凌晨…专注泄密许多年的记者Glenn笔下的斯诺登,Cincinnatus & Verax这两个词可以概括他。喜欢细节丰满的纪实题材,有据可循不装逼。大概支撑我们奔走和牺牲的只有一两个执念。专注于自己想要成为的那个样子,不计成本,谨慎修持,适量地相信直觉,对日常的喜怒哀乐装腔作势持淡然态度。

作者的官方网站有好多采访视频和文件,很不错。

斯诺登传奇自述。历史在更迭演绎,时代的本质不变。斯巴达克斯式英雄人物撕开当权者丑陋傀儡嘴脸,燃爆自由斗士不屈服的内心。失势的希拉里,得道的特朗普,不是针对谁,都是信息时代的垃圾。

“The true measurement of a person’s worth isn’t what they say they believe in, but what they do in defense of those beliefs,” he said. “If you’re not acting on your beliefs, then they probably aren’t …
