Professor Robert Scheer’s most recent book, They Know Everything About You: How Data Collecting Corporations and Snooping Government Agencies are Destroying Democracy (Nation Books), was published in February 2015.
“Without privacy,” Scheer says, “there is neither freedom nor democracy. The freedom to be left alone embodies the most basic of human rights. Yet this freedom has been squandered in the name of national security and consumer convenience.”
Scheer is editor-in-chief of truthdig.com and co-host of KCRW’s “Left, Right & Center,” a weekly show on “politics, policy and pop culture.” It can be heard every Friday at 2:30 on KCRW (89.9). His new podcast, “Scheer Intelligence,” debuted in October and can be found at kcrw.com or on the podcatcher of your choice.
