Privacy in the Age of Big Data

Many of us do not know the full extent to which data is collected, stored, aggregated and used. Privacy in the Age of Big Data highlights the many positive outcomes of digital surveillance and data collection while also outlining those forms of data collection to which we may not consent, and of which we are likely unaware. Payton and Claypoole skillfully introduce readers to the many ways we are “watched,” and how to adjust our behaviors and activities to recapture our privacy. Anyone who uses digital devices will want to read this book for its clear and no-nonsense approach to the world of big data and what it means for all of us.
