Privacy lost for Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan?

Privacy Doesn't Exist Anymore - The Expert On Everything - A Novel by Edward David Gil

Described as “Catch-22” meets “Three Days of the Condor,” this techno-thriller with an attitude focuses on realistic technological details and takes the reader on a journey into an uncomfortable future that could easily become a reality.

OVERVIEW

Young Charlie Sanders is offered a six-figure job after only thirty seconds into an interview at Vector Systems, is mistakenly handed the company’s only prototype of a technology that can definitively erase any and all privacy in our society (code-named “Wallace”, It fits like a snug hearing aid and can maintain a conversation), is pursued like prey by more than a few interested parties – including a Governor with presidential ambitions and quite a few U.S. Senators – and begins receiving death-threats from the technology itself, which now has its own ideas.

Privacy Issues In The News

The privacy of Paris Hilton and Lndsay Lohan were compromised on Myspace. The story continues the onslaught to personal privacy. Edward David Gil's book 'The Expert On Everything - Privacy Doesn't Exist Anymore' is quickly becoming fact rather than fiction. His book describes how our privacy rights are completely null and void because a company has a device that can give real time data and information about anyone, anytime and anywhere. Quite scary in its ramifications.

Although, many celebrities cash in on this invasion of their privacy does not make it the right thing to do. Just because hackers can do these things, should they? Do we not have a compass to guide us anymore? Is everything fair game? It does seem that way and it is sad.
