Description
“Masterful (and timely)…Privacy is clearly a protean concept, and Igo deftly reviews the
definitions that scholars have offered in their efforts to cage its elusive essence. She judges these
attempts helpful but less than conclusive. Her own ambitious solution is to embrace privacyâ€s
multifariousness. In her marathon trek from Victorian propriety to social media exhibitionism, she
recounts dozens of forgotten public debates…Utterly original.――David Greenberg,
Washington Post“A mighty effort to tell the story of modern America as a story of anxieties
about privacy… Igo is an intelligent interpreter of the facts…She shows us that although we may
feel that the threat to privacy today is unprecedented, every generation has felt that way since the
introduction of the postcard.――Louis Menand, New Yorker“[An] excellent new book on
privacy in America…Igo follows the different ways in which Americans have been scrutinized―in
the home, school, and workplace; by the state, the press, and marketing firms, corporations and
psychologists, data aggregators and algorithms…Her book can…help us better understand our
own debates over privacy today.――Katrina Forrester, Harperâ€s“A masterful study of
privacy in the United States.――Sue Halpern, New York Review of Books“Engaging and
wide-ranging…Igoâ€s analysis of state surveillance from the New Deal through Watergate is
remarkably thorough and insightful.――Katie Fitzpatrick, The Nation“A highly readable new
history of privacy in America [that] offers insight into the ways attitudes have evolved as different
forms of identification, and different expectations of privacy, have emerged.――Katrina Gulliver,
Reason“Luminous… For a century and a half, people in this country have been arguing at
high volume about privacy… Today, we are watched as never before, through surreptitious
governmental data collection and through corporate profiles of our desires and habits. Yet we also
divulge private matters aggressively, seeking freedom through publicity.――Dissent
“Monumental…In vigorous, smooth-flowing prose, case by case and landmark by landmark,
Igo tells this story with an authority and insight no previous comprehensive account has
achieved…The Known Citizen is the best history yet to appear of the long road leading to that
unprecedented privacy crisis, and she concludes by observing that no matter how altered the
modern landscape is, we cannot do without privacy.――Steve Donoghue, Open Letters Review
“While most studies of privacy dwell on laws, court decisions, and other regulations, the
premise of Igoâ€s book is that we might gain a better vantage point if we think about privacy as

part and parcel of a larger cult
