NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Edward Snowden, the man who risked everything to expose the US governments 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 onlinea man who became a spy, a whistleblower, and, in exile, the Internets 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.

Somos vricolacas. ... Usamos sólo una variante más de la tecnología de la que estamos enamorados para hacer realidad nuestros sueños, para consolidarnos como la pesadilla de aquellos que empezaron a rechazarnos cuando aún no establecíamos nuestra identidad.

En un futuro cercano, cuando la policía investiga el asesinato ritual de una mujer argentina en un bosque de la Ciudad de México y descubre que ha sido transmitido a todo el mundo a través de internet, las evidencias señalan como sospechosos a los vricolacas, seres tecnológicamente modificados que reivindican a su especie con atentados hacker. Nicole Sheridan, Hernán Satoshi y sus hombres tratarán por todos los medios de poner fin a las luchas entre pandillas, la inseguridad creciente y el conflicto diplomático que ocasiona el Snuff... Pero ¿y si el sangriento asesinato hubiera sido la señal que los adeptos de una conspiración global estaban esperando para desatar el caos?
