things change

The Snowden Files by Luke Harding is the first of what will no doubt be many books about Edward Snowden’s leaking of the astonishing extent to which the US and UK spying agencies spy on the world’s citizens. It’s a mixed bag of a book but you get the essence of Snowden’s story and the essential details of the leaks. We now know that all our digital comunications are being collected by our government. This cannot be a good thing and Edward Snowden surely deserves support for putting his life on the line so that we should know what has been done. Recommended.
