Description: What kind of privacy future are we facing? In Visions of Privacy: Policy Choices for the Digital Age, some of the most prominent international theorists and practitioners in the field explore the impact of evolving technology on private citizens. The authors critically probe legal, social, political, and economic issues, as each answers the question: How can we develop privacy solutions equal to the surveillance challenges of the future?
