As the title suggest "No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA and the Surveillance State", in the era of NSA and surveillance there no place to hide for anyone. The fact is reveled by the famous whistle blower Edward Snowden. He leak some of the confidential documents of NSA which makes people aware about various surveillance programs run by NSA and how they access all the online data about anyone.

The story starts from Hong Kong and cover all the events occurred in the life of Snowden till he reaches to Russia and get asylum there. It is about how government abuses its power and how corporate media  work with government to hide many facts which people must know in democratic structure. The story is about USA government but other countries also learn the lessons from it.


Wisdom: 

  •  Data security and privacy is as important as physical security and privacy.
  • Democracy is about people not about governments and corporates
