NOTE THE TIME CHANGE. OUR MEETUP IS ON TUESDAY EVENING IN OCTOBER, NOT MONDAY.
Our speaker this month is Cyrus Farivar. Cyrus Farivar is the Senior Business Editor at Ars Technica and the author of The Internet of Elsewhere. He is also a radio producer and has reported for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, National Public Radio, Public Radio International, The Economist, Wired, The New York Times, and others.
Cyrus will be here to read excerpts from and sign copies of his new book, Habeas Data, about 50 years of privacy law in America. This event is presented in conjunction with BookPeople, who will have staff on hand with copies of Cyrus’ book for you to buy.

You are being watched. Whether through your phone or your car or
your credit card, caught on a CCT camera or tracked through your online
viewing history, government agencies know where you are, and are quietly collecting your most intimate, mundane, and personal information.
Is this even legal? Habeas Data shows how the explosive growth of
surveillance technology has outpaced our understanding of the ethics,
mores, and laws of privacy.
