Reviews
"Heidi Boghosian's Cyber Citizens makes the case that mass surveillance, digital illiteracy, and the erosion of civic engagement combine to pose a pernicious, existential threat to democracy. Equal parts practical digital security guide and timely civics lesson, Cyber Citizens has answers for anyone who has looked at the political landscape and asked, 'What can I do?'" --Lauren Harper, Daniel Ellsberg Chair on Government Secrecy, Freedom of the Press Foundation " Cyber Citizens is a masterclass in civic activism for the digital age. We can't rely on tech companies to safeguard our democracy: it's up to each of us. As surveillance and disinformation are normalized, Heidi Boghosian offers an accessible, urgently needed tool kit for digital disruption." --Will Potter, investigative journalist and author of Green Is the New Red "In today's information-saturated world, Cyber Citizens serves as a survival manual for defending against cybersecurity and other online threats. Read it, share it with others, and be a more responsible digital citizen." --Oliver Page, cofounder and CEO of CyberNut, " Cyber Citizens is a masterclass in civic activism for the digital age.

Synopsis
A grounding exploration of how our online prowess shapes the very essence of democracy The electronic age compels us to confront the delicate balance between the convenience of constant connectivity and the protection of personal privacy, security, and democracy itself. Presented as a two-fold concern of digital and civic literacy, surveillance and privacy expert Heidi Boghosian argues that our fight to uphold democracy must extend to the online world. As "smart" citizens, our best chance of thriving in the digital era lies in taking care of our "smart" selves as diligently as we maintain our smart devices. In the same way that smart devices can disclose private information when not adequately secured, our online presence can lead to unintentional data exposure or identity theft. That entails a commitment to learning digital literacy and cyber hygiene from the first moment we engage with technology. Mastering the fundamentals of civics--the rights and responsibilities of citizens--rounds out the democratic assignment. With AI and machine learning poised to play a transformative role in our 21st century lives, we, as humans, have our own generative learning journey to master. Drawing parallels between Americans and their "smart" devices, Cyber Citizens sheds light on the delicate balance between connectivity and privacy to uphold a truly democratic society.
