In a world in which Ken Starr can subpoena Monica Lewinsky's bookstore receipts and deleted e-mail messages can be used as justification for firing employees, it's clear that private information of all kinds can be taken out of context and wielded against us. Where exactly did our constitutional guarantees on privacy go? In superbly lucid prose, Jeffrey Rosen tells not only where those privacy rights went but also how we can get them back. The Unwanted Gaze is utterly indispensable for anyone who cares about the future of his or her private life.
"Rosen makes a complex subject fascinating by showing us how vulnerable we all are. His message: Pay attention. It could happen to you."-The Denver Post
"This remarkably rich and detailed book sharpens our understanding of a problem that most of us prefer not to think about."-The New York Times Book Review
