Payton (founder, Fortalics, LLC, a security, risk, and fraud consulting company; former White House CIO) and Claypoole (cochair of the Cyberspace Privacy and Data Security Subcommittee for the American Bar Association's Business Law Section) intend this book as an overview of the threats facing private citizens in the era of cloud computing and big data. Discussions of privacy in this time take as their departure point the problematic nature of cloud-based computing and of the storage of massive amounts of personal data by businesses, governments, and devices connected to the cloud. The threats reviewed include those associated with mobile access and tracking individuals' locations, Internet viewing, and the ubiquity of cameras as peripherals on devices. The final section details mitigating risks to individual privacy and reviews legislative efforts that could help. VERDICT Well-researched and well-written, this timely and important addition to the literature on privacy and big data will resonate with researchers of information policy and related legislation.--Jim Hahn, Univ. of IL Lib, Urbana
