Surveillance Valley: The Secret Military History of the Internet
Autor Yasha Levineen Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 feb 2018
The
internet
is
the
most
effective
weapon
the
government
has
ever
built.
A
visionary
intelligence
officer,
William
Godel,
realized
that
the
key
to
winning
the
war
in
Vietnam
was
not
outgunning
the
enemy,
but
using
new
information
technology
to
understand
their
motives
and
anticipate
their
movements.
This
idea--using
computers
to
spy
on
people
and
groups
perceived
as
a
threat,
both
at
home
and
abroad--drove
ARPA
to
develop
the
internet
in
the
1960s,
and
continues
to
be
at
the
heart
of
the
modern
internet
we
all
know
and
use
today.
As
Levine
shows,
surveillance
wasn't
something
that
suddenly
appeared
on
the
internet;
it
was
woven
into
the
fabric
of
the
technology.
But
this
isn't
just
a
story
about
the
NSA
or
other
domestic
programs
run
by
the
government.
As
the
book
spins
forward
in
time,
Levine
examines
the
private
surveillance
business
that
powers
tech-industry
giants
like
Google,
Facebook,
and
Amazon,
revealing
how
these
companies
spy
on
their
users
for
profit,
all
while
doing
double
duty
as
military
and
intelligence
contractors.
Levine
shows
that
the
military
and
Silicon
Valley
are
effectively
inseparable:
a
military-digital
complex
that
permeates
everything
connected
to
the
internet,
even
coopting
and
weaponizing
the
antigovernment
privacy
movement
that
sprang
up
in
the
wake
of
Edward
Snowden.
With
deep
research,
skilled
storytelling,
and
provocative
arguments,Surveillance
Valleywill
change
the
way
you
think
about
the
news--and
the
device
on
which
you
read
it.

Review
of
Books
"This polemical history argues that the U.S. military's role inthe development of the Internet indelibly shaped the system intoa powerful tool of government surveillance. ... amid increasing dismay abouttechnology's influence on contemporary life, such forceful questioning issalutary."—New Yorker
"Provocative history of the internet-equipped security state,implicating key players in the digital economy in the game of espionage....Levine, a tech-savvy investigative journalist, documents an army of them in hiswide-ranging look at the way governments and companies alike spy on ordinarycitizens."—Kirkus
"This engrossinginvestigation will find a large audience among those interested in the uses andabuses of technology."—Library Journal
"Yasha Levine's bold and sweeping history of the Internet-from itsshadowy inception as a military contrivance for counterinsurgency and domesticsurveillance, to its current incarnation as a commercialized tool for everydaycommunication that turns everyone's life into an open book-tells a grippingstory of our algorithmic way of life in the making. Defying common Internettropes that present a battle between valiant and independent rebels versusomnipresent state and corporate powers, no one comes out of this book lookingclean. Whatever your thoughts about our digitized world, this book willchallenge them."—Stuart Ewen, Distinguished Professor of History, Sociology and Media Studies at Hunter College and the CUNY Graduate Center
"The Internet will never be the same after you readSurveillance Valley.Yasha Levine has done a masterful job of research and reporting about themilitary origins of the 'world wide web' and how its essential nature has notchanged in the years since its creation during the Cold War. I especiallyapplaud his courage in unraveling the connections between the so-called 'deepstate' and its economic allies in Silicon Valley with the big guns of the 'privacy' movement, who have scoffed at virtually every attempt at making theiroperations transparent to the public."—Tim Shorrock, author of Spies for Hire: The Secret World of Intelligence Outsourcing
"In this fast-paced, myth busting expose, Yasha Levinedocuments how a collection of spooks, cybernetic fanatics, and libertarian oligarchs haveexploited the internet to promote regime change abroad and establish atotalistic spying network at home.Surveillance Valleyisan unprecedented journalistic achievement, revealing the untold history of theanti-democratic regime that rules our lives from behind a glossy LED screen."—Max Blumenthal, author of Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel, senior editor of AlterNet's Grayzone Project
"An important historylesson."—TANK
"SurveillanceValleyis a troubling book, but it is an important book. Itsmashes comforting myths."—Boundary 2
"Googleemployees rightfully balked recently when they found out theiremployer had a number of defense contracts; one wonders if they knew thatthe tech industry was quite literally founded on the back of the defenseindustry, such that there was a time when they were synonymous. Yasha Levine'swonderful historical tract shatters any illusion that the two industries wereever really that at odds with each other."—Salon
