Book Review: Permanent Record (Young Readers Edition) This is a reprint of my review of Ed Snowden's reissue of his 2019 memoir, Permanent Record. This version was meant for children. It leaves out the adult revelatory bits about totalitarianism in the making. Now that Ed is a citizen of Russia (probably an operation by the CIA), we must think about the fate of future whistleblowers. Series: Book Reviews (117 Articles, 157621 views)
