5.0 out of 5 starsA book surveillance researchers will greatly appreciate
By Aaron K. Martin on August 19, 2009
Format: Paperback
In Wiring Up The Big Brother Machine... And Fighting It, Mark Klein provides a critical account of the US government's surveillance alliance with the telecommunications industry, and the role he played in consummating that marriage before trying to end it. This is a story about resistance to surveillance, written not by an academic, but by a telecommunications technician. Between 2003 and 2004, Klein worked for AT&T in San Francisco, where he discovered details of what he considered an illegal National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance program. In this short, self-published book, he recounts his discovery of Room 641A, the moral quandaries this discovery caused and his struggle to publicize the ongoing collusion between AT&T and the NSA. As an insider involved in building the surveillance apparatus he later sought to blow the whistle on, Klein provides an engaging firsthand account of the political dynamics of surveillance and resistance in post-9/11 America and the legal wrangling that subsequently engulfed both Congress and the White House.

Surveillance studies scholars will appreciate this book on many levels. For one, it is very seldom that we gain access to accounts of surveillance operations written by those individuals involved in the surveillance activities. Klein tells us how he unwittingly "wired up" a "vacuum cleaner" surveillance system that facilitated the indiscriminate, large-scale collection of phone and Internet communication data for later analysis. Millions of people, including American nationals communicating within the United States, were caught in the dragnet. It was the warrantless wiretapping of domestic communications that was, and remains, highly controversial.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsMr Klein is a truly modern day hero
By Tareq S on July 29, 2009
Format: Paperback
This is a very well written and interesting book. The story that Klein tells is unpartisan, fascinating, and frightening. The book goes into lots of the details and backstory behind the story of the NSA illegally spying on Americans through private telco infrastructure, and the legal battles that surrounded it. Be advised that reading this book may cause you to become significantly more paranoid when on the Internet.

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a great story. The book actually includes documents involved and it was definitely a book I didn't want to put down. Definitely recommend for any tech minded people or anybody interested in NSA/government activities.

5.0 out of 5 starsWhy you must buy this book
By Martin Hoffmitz on December 17, 2009
Format: Paperback
An American Hero, of the sort that you need more of. Whistlblowers are the back bone of American Democracy. A once great nation has become lethargic and uncaring. Tell your friends and buy this book, Americans like this need to be supported. American friends, I am a sad Canadian who has watched the GREAT AMERICAN DREAM wither, where you were once the envy of the world, now you lie in the mud! AWAKEN FROM YOUR SLUMBER! Start with this book, support this man, and then get angry and active. Defend your life, your nation and your great constitution. You do not have to lie down and calmly be raped by your spineless politicians. Remember your founding fathers!
The Canadian watching...and hoping...
