Paperback. "I feel tremendous guilt," Palihapitiya said."In the back, deep, deep recesses of our mind, we kind of knew something bad could happen." Chamath Palihapitiya walked away from Facebook in 2011. The ex-CEO of Facebook had a heavy weight on his conscience - so he left. He did not mince his words: "social networks are tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works". And so in a time of universal pretense, where the mask of the ego is worshipped via likes and subscribe buttons, I thought it be great to throw a mini-monkey wrench in this whole goddamn psychopathic-inducing machine. Say that someone wants a break of it all, a break of getting tracked, advertised and targeted, how does one proceed? We are deep -God helps us, we are way too deep- in this culture of make-believe where the god of group-acceptance is coerced to us via technology. We might have lost ourselves in the game. "If you don't like it, don't buy it", says the zombies trained, educated, into a school system made to make factory workers. My privacy is a right and in this global dystopian world where mics are everywhere and cameras ommipresent, I might have the right to know if your house is equipped with a HomePod before I go off on a rant about gun-control laws. I'm not okay with this whole "not my problem" mentality. Because when what was once seen as okay, say someone worrying about his online privacy, is now portrayed as a terrorist or a criminal by the medias (and the drones taking their daily dose of blue pills to stay in the matrix of things), when this moment happens, you know that the world has been very wrong. It happened: What was once good is bad and what was once bad is good. Welcome to 1984. Only this is not a book.This is the real world we live in.We have entered the universe of Orwell - and we are just going deeper and deeper into a world dominated by the fear. Fear is the tool of power used by the mainstream media (owned by the governments) as a propaganda tool. A way to fight back is to turn off the telescreen and go for a walk in the rain. A way to stay invisible is to opt-out of the pendulum of modern technology. But say that you need to use the internet, cause you're a journalist, a student, a business owner, a just someone that wants to stay connected, how the hell do you stay anonymous? Blend in.Stay normal online.Lose yourself into the trillion of gigabits. Okay, this is the short answer. This book is on how to get untraceable online and unable to give your data to a government agency, a scenario that few people will ever need to partake, but still: I rather have it here for you so that if the need ever appears, you know where to look into.I hope this short book introduces you to the world of cyber-privacy and raises a few questions in your head. I hope this is your "wait, what's going on beneath the scene!?" moment. I had minea few years ago. I was a drone when it came to the online privacy world. But something changed me and my way of thinking. That moment happened at an airport. This item is printed on demand.
