On the technical and freedom portions, he gets it right as far as I can tell. On the economic and political parts, that’s less the case. Overall, Jim Harper’s writing is well done. He introduces each chapter with anecdotes that illustrate the points he’s trying to make, and that goes a long way to making them accessible to people who aren’t security geeks. I think he could have been a bit more succinct in his later chapters. It’s not that they are overly long, but each of them does repeat some of the information from earlier chapters. Good conclusions though.
