Database Nation

By scrutinizing both current and potential uses of database technology, this provocative work examines the power of corporations and government to collect and disseminate consumers` personal information and, in turn, erode individual civil rights. The book argues that rigid, enforced privacy controls can accompany the convenience of database technology and urges consumers to lobby for tougher regulations. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
