[SIGCIS-Members] The Limiting Principle: How Privacy Became a Public Issue

I wanted to share news of my recently published book, The Limiting Principle: How Privacy Became a Public Issue (Columbia University Press). I hope that some SIGCIS members will find it interesting and relevant. The book explores how privacy evolved from a set of informal cultural norms about domestic life into a broad and salient "limiting principle" of the Information Age that now seems everywhere under threat but also functions as a touchstone for myriad debates about the rights of citizens and consumers—and it chronicles how this transformation has shaped the functioning of American society and the governance of personal data.
