5.0 out of 5 stars Now I get it., February 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Identity, Privacy, And Personal Freedom: Big Brother vs The New Resistance (Paperback)

ID/Privacy books generally raise more questions than they answer. This book answers all those questions raised by other ID/Privacy books.

My only complaint is that the author tells TOO much about how to get birth certificates and fake drivers' licenses. I'm concerned that this will alert authorities to the loopholes.

But there is also a lot of good information about how Big Brother is spinning out of control. A real eye-opener.

All in all, a masterful work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Brother part is scary. Great ID section!, January 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Identity, Privacy, And Personal Freedom: Big Brother vs The New Resistance (Paperback)

Wow, I have to say that the Big Brother images scared me -- even more than Orwell's 1984 -- because this time they were REAL.

Thank God there is a New Resistance. If they (we?) use the tools the author suggests, we might just be able to save our privacy.

The IDs looked too real to be legal, but I guess drastic measures are called for. Overall, the book is great. No double-spacing, no filler. All pages literally packed with info. I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Covers all the bases; very informative, January 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Identity, Privacy, And Personal Freedom: Big Brother vs The New Resistance (Paperback)

Mr. Charrett's privacy solutions range from harmless to felonious. I think a book that explores such an important topic should include legal solutions to gaining privacy <I>as well as</I> illegal solutions. In my opinion, this book covers it all. A reader could not really ask for more than that.
