Author David Brin argues against the modern fixation on secrecy, reminding us that in an era of gnat-sized cameras and clothes penetrating radar, it will be more vital than ever for us to watch the watchers. By ensuring accountability through 'reciprocal transparency', we can detect dangers and expose worngdoers. If you follow his argument for two-way social transparency, you realize your only hope is that he is right. 377 pages with Notes and Index. 8.5 x 5.5 inches. Basic Books, New York, 1999.
