Summary
Edward Snowden, the man who risked everything to expose the US government’s system of mass surveillance, reveals for the first time the story of his life, including how he helped to build that system and what motivated him to try to bring it down.

In 2013, twenty-nine-year-old Edward Snowden shocked the world when he broke with the American intelligence establishment and revealed that the United States government was secretly pursuing the means to collect every single phone call, text message, and email. The result would be an unprecedented system of mass surveillance with the ability to pry into the private lives of every person on earth. Six years later, Snowden reveals for the very first time how he helped to build this system and why he was moved to expose it.

Spanning the bucolic Beltway suburbs of his childhood and the clandestine CIA and NSA postings of his adulthood, Permanent Record is the extraordinary account of a bright young man who grew up online—a man who became a spy, a whistleblower, and, in exile, the Internet’s conscience. Written with wit, grace, passion, and an unflinching candor, Permanent Record is a crucial memoir of our digital age and destined to be a classic.

This is a must have for All Americans. Doesn't matter what Political party you are. Great book and I can understand exactly why he did what he did. I believe he was right to do what he did. He isn't Anti America but an American Hero.

This man is brilliant! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the narrator but how Edward Snowdens mind worked! I could not get enough! It is fascinating how it all worked and happened and the technology grew so fast, I remember the 1st home computers and the dial up. This book validates the fact that the government is in control, it is utterly frightening. Thank you

It’s likely that only someone with Snowden’s set n skills, insights, thoughtfulness and integrity could write a book of this magnitude. He is a true modern day hero. This book should be read by everyone, especially in the USA.
