World Without Secrets: Business, Crime, and Privacy in the Age of Ubiquitous Computing

Richard Hunter has seen the future, and it′s really scary. If you ever plan to do anything wrong, you need to read this book. If you suspect that someone will ever try to do anything wrong to you, you also need to read it. I believe that covers pretty much all of us." ––Thomas H. Davenport, Director, Accenture Institute for Strategic Change, Distinguished Scholar, Babson College
"Like a laser, Hunter gets directly to the heart of the issues for business and society in computer security. He understands and delineates issues and nonissues of cybercrime and cyberwar and provides provocative thought on new social structures affecting current and future security issues. A strongly recommended read for anyone concerned about cybersecurity and the coming cyberwars." ––Dr. Bill Hancock, CISSP, Vice President, Security and Chief Security Officer, Exodus, a cable and wireless company
To some it′s a dream come true; to others it′s the stuff of nightmares–a world of ubiquitous computing in which human beings are surrounded by smart, aware, always–on machines that monitor, record, and analyze most or all of what goes on around them. World Without Secrets takes you on a chilling tour of the near future and the hard realities of what′s to come, from the home without secrets to the Network Army, from mentats to the exception economy.
Don′t enter the future unprepared. Read World Without Secrets and learn how to protect your business from information crime, seize emerging opportunities, and survive and succeed in a new environment that is as dangerous as it is promising.
