It's too bad this doesn't cover the more recent amounts of surveillance, starting from, say, the Patriot Act forwards. The article mentions that but I'm curious if any HN users would know of any works that do attempt to cover what those changes are?
I personally have no memory of living in a pre-Patriot Act world and so privacy seems like this mythical hometown main street concept that I'd like to see if I can experience even if only intellectually.
