Book table

What books should be there at the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy book table? Relevant fiction as well as non-fiction is very welcome! Please add your suggestions at the bottom -- or give a little more information about why you think a book makes sense. At some point after the conference, we'll turn this into an Amazon recommendation list.
