Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz!

Identity theft is on the rise in the digital age snowballing since Genesis when Jacob covered himself in goatskin to impersonate his brother. In Swiped, Adam Levin details the ineffective litigation following data breaches and how the new plan to end internet anonymity is about as rational as banning goats. Impending IP imperialism is an overlooked issue which seeks to further increase censorship, minimize small business and centralize servers. Adam provides you with personal risk management tools when surfing the wild west web, with the caveat that everyone gets got.

While the dark web is portrayed as a murky den of thieves it increasingly becomes inhabited by run of the mill internet users looking for a browsing experience closer to ’08. The book shows how civilians are beginning to take refuge in private networks as Medicare leaks are traced back to data dealing doctors rather than the cinematically portrayed neckbeard hacker. In all epidemics alike a fiscally aware empire will favor retaliation over prevention. Adam suggests The Consumer Protection Act which costs banks $34 Billion annually, will not last long with Spencer Bauchus of the House Banking Committee openly admitting “federal litigation takes their orders from banks”.
