More about the book
Originally published in 1964, The Naked Society was the first book to discuss how then new technologies could be used to invade civil liberties. This represented a most flagrant of the many assaults upon individual rights. According to Packard, new technologies were eroding freedom, creating a world akin to something out of George Orwell's 1984. Timelier than ever in today's world, where civil liberties remain under constant threat from technology and the actions of government and business, this new edition features an introduction by historian Rick Perlstein.
