First Platoon: A Story of Modern War in the Age of Identity Dominance by Annie Jacobsen
5.0
Eye opening introduction to the use of biometric data amalgamations to assist, circumvent, and/or instigate warfare. With cautionary warnings of the capabilities of these semi-privatized/government classified omnipotent entities and the dangers they pose to American and individual freedoms. All focused around the fast paced and gut wrenching story of one platoon’s deployment to Afghanistan. Where is our data being stored? How is it being collected? How do we know if it’s stored? Who controls it? Who keeps those controlling it in check? How is it being used against us? How is this post I’m now writing influencing systems create predictive threat assessments in domestic environments?
