How do we ensure security and, at the same
time, safeguard civil liberties? The Open Society Paradox
challenges the conventional wisdom of those on both sides of the
debate leaders who want unlimited authority and advocates who would
sacrifice security for individual privacy protection. It offers a
provocative alternative, suggesting that while the very openness of
American society has left the United States vulnerable to today's
threats, only more of this quality will make the country safer and
enhance its citizens' freedom and mobility. Uniquely qualified to
address these issues, Dennis Bailey argues that the solution is not
to create a police state that restricts liberties but,
paradoxically, to embrace greater openness. Through new
technologies that engender transparency, including secure
information, biometrics, surveillance, facial recognition, and data
mining, society can remove the anonymity of the illintentioned
while revitalizing the notions of trust and accountability and
enhancing freedom for most Americans. He explores the impact of
greater transparency on our lives, our relationships, and our
liberties. The Open Society Paradox is a brave exploration of how
to realign our traditional assumptions about privacy with a
twenty-first-century concept of an open society. |
