Edward Snowden --- June Read

We'll be reading 'The Snowden Files' in June so you might be interested in the documentary 'Citizenfour' which is currently playing in some theaters.  I found it engrossing.  

Also, Cory Doctorow, of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and author of novels dealing with privacy and civil rights in the digital age, was interviewed today on KALW (the program was Binah) and I believe you can listen to the podcast here:

He is an entertaining as well as informative speaker.  In 'Citizenfour' Edward Snowden is shown reading Homeland by Cory Doctorow.
