The Dataminer Robert Kull

Publisher Marketing: What if all of your internet activity were cataloged and the information stored and accumulated over the course of many months, years, or even your entire lifetime? Would you feel comfortable knowing your entire browsing history was being saved, searched, and analyzed? Would you mind if all of your internet activity was collected, bought and sold for marketing purposes? What would happen if a rogue actor obtained the information for some other purpose? A much darker purpose? The proliferation and advancement of tracking technology, data analysis, and social media, combined with the lack of legal and technological privacy protection is cause for great concern. A major stumbling block to privacy protection is the complex nature of the web of technology that forms the internet. This complexity encourages apathy. In The Dataminer, Robert Kull explores the dangerous possibilities that result from the total collapse of privacy in the digital age. The Dataminer tells the thrilling (and sometimes humorous) story of Falcon Martin, a brilliant young computer programmer and entrepreneur who discovers a dangerous secret inherent in the structure of the web. The discovery lands him in a battle between good and evil that has spanned many lifetimes. The Dataminer integrates easy to understand explanations of real world internet and privacy technology with a frightening story of the lust for power.
