a book, and a story, that is more about substance than style. He bestows the same attention to detail on these subjects as he does describing the labyrinthine relationships of his various employers and the intelligence agencies, and this clarity helps turn the book into a relatable story about issues rather than a jargon-stuffed, acronym-filled nightmare. thodically everything from SD cards, to TOR, to smart appliances, to the difference between http and https, to the fact that when you delete a file from your computer, it doesn’t actually get deleted. It’s these little pieces of not-exactly-earth-shattering, but still pleasantly informative detail that help the book keep ticking over and compensate for the often distant tone of its author. while many parts of the book are truly is the author’s underlying themes and motivations that truly deserve our attention. These excerpts were all the more necessary, as this really is a book about the personal-no further details of public significance are released in this title, which is a work primarily of analysis and reflection. It was genuinely interesting to get an insight into how someone might cope with this very unusual situation being thrust upon them in a more candid tone than we generally get from the guarded Snowden throughout the rest of the book. I.found it uncharacteristically satisfying that Permanent Record included a chapter composed of extracts from Lindsay Mills’s diary.
