    Haven’t read Antisocial yet but the other three I vouch for as well. Very depressing stuff. I don’t recall how much actual privacy advice is given though, mostly they focus on how much it’s violated. Snowden’s was good after you get past the first third about his childhood.

      A few years ago, I did the 52Books challenge and I ended up reading these 4 together and that was when I became interested in online privacy, thats why I recommend them together, they really showed me how much governments and private companies want all of your information

      I don’t recall how much actual privacy advice is given though, mostly they focus on how much it’s violated

      Yeah, the internet is constantly changing so if these books had tips in them, some of those tips would probably be a bit outdated now and with the explosion in AI over the past few months dynamic guides that can constantly be updated are better than static printed books that would constantly need to release updated versions to stay relevant

      If you are interested in privacy tips, I would recommend Privacy@lemmy.ml and privacyguides@lemmyone their subreddits are more populated but I think both are going dark on the 12th. Also some of Techlore’s older videos were great for people new to privacy
