Edward Snowden. Private bussiness

In 2013, Edward Snowden, the CIA agent and the NSA employee, shocked the world, tearing off the connection with American intelligence and revealing especially secret information. He published evidence that the US government established a global surveillance system, collecting calls, text messages and emails of citizens around the world. In “Personal Affairs”, Snowden first tells the readers his story: how he helped to create this system of mass observation, and then, experiencing remorse, tried to destroy it. Snowden's memoirs are a biography of a boy who grew up on a free Internet and eventually became his conscience and a defender. This is a deeply personal story, in which, as in the mirror, a striking transformation of not only America, but the whole world as a whole is reflected. Combining touching stories about the “hacker” youth and the formation of the Internet with the ruthless “inner cuisine” of American intelligence, the book of Snowden is the most important memoirs of the digital era.
