[Shaydy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Lots of typos and repetition. Three-quarters of this book offers variations on its thesis (“You could be tracked by many devices all around you”). It offers the same warnings in ten different ways with limited technical explanation. Chapters 5-7 contain the most useful and distinct information.
