Title: The End of Privacy
First published: 1999
Description: "In The End of Privacy, Charles J. Sykes traces the roots of privacy in our nation's founding and Constitution and reveals its inexorable erosion in our time.

From our homes and offices to the presidency, Sykes defines what we have lost, citing example after example of citizens who have had their conversations monitored, movements surveilled, medical and financial records accessed, sexual preferences revealed, homes invaded, possessions confiscated, and even lives threatened - all in the name of some alleged higher social or governmental good.

Sykes concludes by suggesting steps by which we might begin to recover the territory we've lost: our fundamental right to our own lives."--BOOK JACKET.
