A much-needed corrective on what privacy is, why it matters, and how we can protect in an age when so many believe that the concept is dead.
Everywhere we look, companies and governments are spying on us--seeking information about us and everyone we know. Ad networks monitor our web-surfing to send us "more relevant" ads. The NSA screens our communications for signs of radicalism. Schools track students' emails to stop school shootings. Cameras guard every street corner and traffic light, and drones fly in our skies. Databases of human information are assembled for purposes of "training" artificial intelligence programs designed to predict everything from traffic patterns to the location of undocumented migrants. We're even tracking ourselves, using personal electronics like Apple watches, Fitbits, and other gadgets that have made the "quantified self" a realistic possibility. As Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg once put it, "the Age of Privacy is over." But Zuckerberg and others who say "privacy is dead" are wrong. In Why Privacy Matters, Neil Richards explains that privacy isn't dead, but rather up for grabs.

This fascinating cultural history of the personal computer explains how user-friendly design allows tech companies to build systems that we cannot understand.
Modern personal computers are easy to use, and their welcoming, user-friendly interfaces encourage us to see them as designed for our individual benefit.

There is a story that is usually told about investing through crisis, a story that focuses on inaction and patience. In The Prepared Investor, Manske shows that the true story of investing through crisis is very different, and that if we want to understand how to protect and grow investments during calamity, we should spend more time actively preparing for it. The story of investing through crisis is more complex - and a lot more interesting. Manske explains what the lottery for the Vietnam draft and the Boston Marathon bombing have in common, why investors reacted to Hurricane Sandy but not to Hurricane Ivan, and the reason you shouldn't buy diamonds - all in terms of preparing financially for major crisis. It matters if investors have experience with a certain disaster, Manske argues, and it matters if a leader is humble or boisterous. The reaction of investors to certain types of disaster follows a peculiar and unexpected logic, and in making that pattern plain, Manske presents a fascinating and provocative blueprint for protecting and growing a portfolio in the face of major crisis.
