I just finished reading “Permanent Records” by Ed Snowden. Very interesting read and pretty well written.
The stuff he talks about is obviously shocking beyond measure and I can’t believe people are still very comfortable using media and communication devices as if all was well.

I feel so amazed that he decided to go through with his plan knowing the unavoidable consequences. He really did all this in a way as to make sure the stories he was bringing would be the main topic instead of himself.

One passage really marked me when he explains how, when the day of his actions were closing by, he got a sense of “finality” and he realised that those were the last times he would meet so and so, and had to say silent goodbyes in the depth of his heart...

Read it!
