There's lots of fascinating information here but it is tragically mired in a sea of enless repetion, unnecessary explanations, and pointless speculation.
Most of this book gives details and history of crimes facilitated by technology. People might find some of his stories to be inflammatory or exaggerated. In my opinion, he's intentionally being ‘alarmist' in order to incite us to action. Toward the end of the book, and in the appendix, he does give some fairly common-sense actions we can take to improve the situation. When I say ‘common-sense', that doesn't change the fact that almost no one follows these suggestions - because they make life more difficult.
