What is The Digital Person : Technology and Privacy in the Information Age about?

A startling account of personal data dossiers and the newest grave threat to privacy Seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, electronic databases are compiling information about you. As you surf the Internet, an unprecedented amount of your personal information is being recorded and preserved forever in the digital minds of computers. For each individual, these databases create a profile of activities, interests, and preferences used to investigate backgrounds, check credit, market products, and make a wide variety of decisions affecting our lives.

Solove recommends how the law can be reformed to simultaneously protect our privacy and allow us to enjoy the benefits of our increasingly digital world. This is the first volume in the series EX MACHINA: LAW, TECHNO
