Securing Privacy in the Internet Age by Anupam Chander (Editor); Lauren Gelman (Editor); Margaret Jane Radin (Editor)
Call Number: K3264 .C65 S43 2008 (Gumberg 2nd floor)
While the traditional adversary of privacy advocates has been the government, in what they see as the role of the Orwellian Big Brother, the principal focus of this book is the fraternity of Little Brothers--the corporations and individuals who seek to profit from gathering personal information about others.
Glass Houses by Joel Brenner

Like the rest of us, governments and corporations inhabit “glass houses,” all but transparent to a new generation of spies who operate remotely from such places as China, the Middle East, Russia, and even France. In this urgent wake-up call, Brenner draws on his extraordinary background to show what we can—and cannot—do to prevent cyber spies and hackers from compromising our security and stealing our latest technology.

The Cybersecurity Dilemma by Ben Buchanan
Why do nations break into one another's most important computer networks? There is an obvious answer: to steal valuable information or to attack. But this isn't the full story. This book draws on often-overlooked documents leaked by Edward Snowden, real-world case studies of cyber operations,and policymaker perspectives to show that intruding into other countries' networks has enormous defensive value as well.
