Book Review: ‘Data and Goliath’ – You Don’t Have Any Secrets Anymore
REVIEW: Privacy is becoming an antiquated concept. In "Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and Control Your World" (ISBN: 9780393244816), security expert Bruce Schneier leads you through a labyrinth of surveillance that should scare the hell out of you.
Book Review: Loutish Voice in the Room, er, ‘The Loudest Voice in the Room’
BOOK REVIEW: Considering the filth-in-human-form known as Roger Ailes, the despicable lead character in "The Loudest Voice in the Room: How the Brilliant, Bombastic Roger Ailes Built Fox News -- and Divided a Country" (ISBN: 978-0-8129-9285-4), you might expect to come away from each chapter feeling demeaned.

The only saving grace is that it is written with a fluid style so it won't take you too long to read.
