Episode: 77 – [Review] Permanent Record

In this episode of Paperback Friends, I’m reviewing Edward Snowden’s memoir Permanent Record — the story of how a curious kid fascinated by computers became one of the most controversial whistleblowers in modern history.I’ll talk about Snowden’s journey, the writing of the memoir, and the difficult questions surrounding privacy, security, loyalty, and the responsibility we have when we discover something we believe is wrong.Permanent Record is not a traditional narrative with fictional characters, but it tells a very real story about power, conscience, and the consequences of challenging the systems around you.Join me as I explore Snowden’s account of his life, his choices, and the impact his actions had on the world.Type: Review | Book: Permanent Record | Writer: Edward Snowden
