Review of 'Permanent record' on 'Goodreads'

Given his IT background I was surprised at how articulate and how well written his account was. The flow is incredibly smooth, the story gripping and interesting. I naturally finished it in one sitting, I couldn’t look away. Obviously an extremely intelligent, principled man who was unashamed to take an objective look at his past. He left out none of the embarrassing details, even leaving in his porn preferences at a younger age. He gave clear explanation for non-techie readers, but none of it was boring for the technically inclined either. This is an essential book for any citizen of America, or any other nation exhibiting totalitarian tendencies.
