Understanding Privacy

"In this concise and lucid book, Daniel J. Solove offers a comprehensive overview of the difficulties involved in discussions of privacy and ultimately provides a provocative resolution. He argues that no single definition can be workable, but rather that there are multiple forms of privacy, related to one another by family resemblances. His theory bridges cultural differences and addresses historical changes in views on privacy. Drawing on a broad array of interdisciplinary sources, Solove sets forth a framework for understanding privacy that provides clear, practical guidance for engaging with relevant issues."--Jacket.

He's written a further compilation of his works in a book titled "Understanding Privacy": http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Privacy-Daniel-J-Solove/...

It's a great read, and includes a section on the 'nothing to hide' fallacy

'Why should I care about privacy, I have nothing to hide" is one of the most harmful, narrow but yet common arguments put forward for this.

I strongly recommend people with viewpoints on either side of the argument to go read D. Solove's essay on the subject over at http://crysp.uwaterloo.ca/courses/pet/F07/cache/solove.pdf - it's quite short and a great read.

His "Understanding Privacy" work is a fantastic book which develops this and his other essays, and provides a great methodology for understanding the scope of - and breaking down the harm inherent in - modern privacy problems. I studied it for my Master's in Cyberlaw, and would highly recommend anyone with an interest in IT / cyberlaw / philosophy to track down a copy and read it. http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Privacy-Daniel-J-Solove/...
