With the publication of Understanding Privacy, Daniel J. Solove has
firmly established himself as one of America's leading
intellectuals in the field of information policy and
cyberlaw...Solove has now elevated himself to that rarefied air of
"people worth watching" in the cyberlaw field; an
intellectual--like Lawrence Lessig or Jonathan Zittrain--whose
every publication becomes something of an event in the field to
which all eyes turn upon release...Make no doubt about it, Daniel
Solove's book--and his approach to classifying and dealing with
privacy problems--will have a profound impact on all future privacy
debates. In that sense, it is a vital text; a must read for all who
follow, or engage in, privacy debates.
*Technology Liberation Front*
Instead of reducing this subject to an academic parlor game, Solove
uses interdisciplinary sources to offer a convincing argument about
why everyone should care deeply about understanding the nature of
privacy. Legal scholars will want to read this book, but so will
psychologists, communication specialists, public policy makers,
philosophers, and anyone interested in where to draw the line
between public and private life.
*Choice*
[A] thoughtful examination of the concept of privacy: what it is,
why it seems forever under threat and why we continue to fight for
it...[Solove's] is a pragmatic, contextual approach that tries to
understand privacy in practice rather than in theory.
