"Permanent Record"

How did I overlook Edward Snowden's revelations in light of Chelsea Manning's? 

​Permanent Record is perhaps the most historic account on domestic U.S. surveillance in the Digital Age. Even then, Snowden shares principles that span his life so far as an all-American military kid to an American-in-exile. One of those principles, from his childhood, is the method by which he details several of the NSA's signals intelligence programs. 

Disturbing they are (or were?), but I recommend you not search the Web for them until you read Permanent Record in full. As a front-end user, you might benefit from the stream of consciousness of a former back-end admin with top security clearances. Especially if you're not a technologist.​
