I +spent most of the day using a Macintosh laptop. I used an iPhone. I +had a Facebook account with hundreds of “friends,” and used Google’s +search engine almost exclusively. While I worried about misuse of my +information by third parties, I didn’t do much about it. I was so in +love with technology that I adopted the latest and greatest without +considering the consequences. + +I still love technology, and believe it plays a transformative role in +our lives. But as I’ve learned more about how it works, and how +powerful interests want it to work, the more I’ve realized the need to +make some changes. + +So, today, I’m writing this on computer running Linux, the free and +open operating system. I own an Android smartphone, modified to remove +restrictions the manufacturer and carrier would prefer to impose. I +have closed my Facebook account, and use search engines in much +different ways. And I am much more cautious about what I’ll allow +third parties to know about me and my activities. + +By making these and many related choices, I have made parts of my life +slightly less easy, or at least less convenient. But I have gained +something more important: liberty. I use the devices I purchase as I +choose; I decline to live in the increasingly restricted environments +that so many technology and communications companies have imposed on +their customers. And to the extent that I am able, I’m preventing +snoops, corporate and governmental, from watching my every move +without my consent. On balance, I believe, I’ve made my life better. + +That’s why I’m doing this project: to help you make your own decisions. + +My goal is simple: I’ll try to persuade you to do what I’m doing, or +to go at least part of the way toward declaring your own +independence. In the end, you may well prefer to stick with the +conveniences of the Mac, Windows, iPhone and the rest. (I still use +all of them for occasional bits of work.) But I hope you’ll at least +consider what you’re giving up when you make those choices, not just +what you gain. I want you to have open eyes and an open mind as you +decide what you want technology to do for you, in the context of your +own needs and your values. + +In this book, and on the accompanying website, I’ll tell you about the +various options and methods to recapture some privacy and freedom in +your use of technology (assuming you want them). In several of the +most popular tools, such as the Linux operating system, I’ll provide a +basic user’s guide to get you started. + +I’ll also note, where appropriate, the irony or maybe even hypocrisy +inherent in some of my own choices. As a shareholder in Amazon and +Netflix, I’ve invested in a certain amount of control-freakery. I’ve +posted this outline, at least temporarily, as a Google Document, and +am spreading word via Google+ and Twitter, in order to get as much +participation as I can -- even though I may ultimately conclude that +Google is itself a serious threat (I’m not there yet and may never +be). + +Using Google to push this project forward is an almost perfect example +of the convenience/effectiveness trade-offs. Occasionally, however, +the tools I’ll describe will raise ethical and legal questions, not +just issues of convenience and ease of use. In all cases, I’ll tell +you about the trade-offs and dilemmas you will face if you move part +or all of the way toward technological liberty. + +Why do I keep using the word “liberty,” anyway? Because this is truly +about your freedoms. They are in jeopardy now, and the trajectory is +not a positive one. + +
