"A well-written, vivid, and harrowing look at the microcosm of surveillance. A must read for all concerned citizens." --Robert Scheer, author of They Know Everything About You and The Great American Stickup "There have been plenty of warnings about corporations profiting from data and compromising privacy, but this straightforward analysis never succumbs to alarmism while letting the facts speak for themselves. [The authors] build a case that will hit home with the personal finances of any reader who has ever done anything online. [They] understand how to write about specialized topics for a general readership, and they deliver their most frightening news in the most understated, straightforward manner... Hope lies in what the authors call 'Data Environmentalism,' raising the consciousness about this threat the way Silent Spring sparked the environmental movement. Well informed and useful." -- Kirkus Reviews "Anna Bernasek and D.T. Mongan have produced a model of lucidity--and urgency--on a topic that needs to be 'top-of-mind' for all of us. Everybody--in the true meaning of that word--ought to read this book. Now. " --Tom Peters, international bestselling author of In Search of Excellence " All You Can Pay is a truly devastating critique of today's information-based, predatory capitalism that everyone must read. Indeed, it's arguably the Das Kapital of the 21st Century." --Laurence Kotlikoff, economist and bestselling author of The Coming Generational Storm, "A well-written, vivid, and harrowing look at the microcosm of surveillance.
