Snowden's Box: Trust in the Age of Surveillance by Jessica Bruder, Dale Maharidge

4.0

Really enjoyed this, an interesting and unique view on the Snowden leaks from a pair of people right at the centre whilst still being completely at the periphery of the action - the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern of leaking NSA secrets. There's plenty of new information here even for people like me who've read essentially everything related to Snowden, and looking at the still thrilling events through the lens of trust is a useful perspective.

It does feel a little stretched out, even for a short book, with a somewhat superfluous chapter on privacy and the surveillance state breaking the flow. However, for people interested in the Snowden leaks this is an essential read.

Also, Glenn Greenwald still sounds like an absolute tool.
