Abstract "Constant digital surveillance has inspired a heated but also limited privacy debate. Lowry Pressly looks beyond the narrow discourse of rights and information to extol privacy as a tool for living. Privacy, he argues, not only reinforces our capacities for play, self-discovery, connection, and trust, but also is vital to the search for meaning."-- Provided by publisher.
