內容簡介

他的一生,就是一本諜報小說! 
是科技駭客叛國者?還是捍衛網路隱私的吹哨人? 
諾貝爾和平獎提名人親筆自傳


史諾登曾為美國國安局與中情局承包商雇員,為時七年。二○一三年,時年二十九歲的史諾登,揭發了美國政府濫權監聽全球每日超過十七億筆通訊資料、窺探地球上每個人私生活的駭人真相。然而選擇說出真相的下場,便是遭到美國與英國政府通緝,流亡至今。 

 透過這本自傳,史諾登介紹了自己的一生,在大華府郊區鄉間的童年生活,以及在中情局與國安局承包商任職的成年生活。本書首度公開他參與協助建立監控系統的始末,也寫下了當時勇於揭發國家機密的原因與初衷。史諾登為什麼做出這樣的選擇?他所依據的道德與倫理原則為何?而這些原則的成因是什麼?這些行為與價值觀,亦形塑了史諾登的一生。 

 現今網路科技的發展,已進入「監視資本主義」,很少人能在當下就明白,我們在臉書、IG所分享的一切,都將不再屬於我們。我們所關注的事情,我們的活動,我們所在之處,我們的慾望――我們揭露有關自己的一切,不論刻意或非刻意的,都受到監視並被暗中出賣。而在這個「監視資本主義」的網路世代,當中最熱門的新產品――就是我們每一個個人,每個人的隱私、每個人的生活日常。而這每一筆資料,在如今各大網路巨獸掌握之下,在非自願的情況下,都將成為永久保存的紀錄,這每一筆你以為掌握在你自己手中的「永久檔案」,早已溢出你的認知,毫無隱私可言…… 

 網路世代造就了他,也摧毀了他。史諾登是一名間諜、一名吹哨者,以及流亡中的網路良知。本書是這個數位時代的關鍵回憶錄。而史諾登讓出自己全部的一生,要你相信一件事: 

唯有對於人民權利的尊重才能衡量一個國家的自由。

Edward Snowden, the man who risked everything to expose the US government’s system of mass surveillance, reveals for the first time the story of his life, including how he helped to build that system and what motivated him to try to bring it down.

In 2013, twenty-nine-year-old Edward Snowden shocked the world when he broke with the American intelligence establishment and revealed that the United States government was secretly pursuing the means to collect every single phone call, text message, and email. The result would be an unprecedented system of mass surveillance with the ability to pry into the private lives of every person on earth. Six years later, Snowden reveals for the very first time how he helped to build this system and why he was moved to expose it.

Spanning the bucolic Beltway suburbs of his childhood and the clandestine CIA and NSA postings of his adulthood, Permanent Record is the extraordinary account of a bright young man who grew up online―a man who became a spy, a whistleblower, and, in exile, the Internet’s conscience. Written with wit, grace, passion, and an unflinching candor, Permanent Record is a crucial memoir of our digital age and destined to be a classic.
