Rosen berg. 237 pages. Random House. 1969. One of the most curious movements in English history was that of the Luddites, a band of work men in the early ISOO’s who tried to prevent the use of labor-saving machinery by breaking it, burn ing factories, etc. The movement is said to have been named after Ned Lud, a half-witted man who in 1779 broke up stocking frames. The author of this book is no Luddite about computers, which is what this book is about, but he is concerned over the fact that eletronic data files can be used in such a way as to lead to The Death of Privacy. The growth of the computer industry in the United States, as the auther points out, is stagger ing. “From 1956 through 1968, installations grew from 810 to more than 70,000. Most have been in stalled since 1965 and in fact almost 15,000 were in stalled in 1968 alone.” Who uses computers? Businesses, industry, institutions, and, of course, the government, in cluding the military. These organizations put the computer to use in an amazing variety of ways. By 1967, some 1,200 different types of applications were known, and just about everyone has his fa vorite story about the occasionally ludicrous things that happen when these machines misfire. What worries the author is the way personal information, some fragmentary, some detailed, is stored more or less permanently. With the first cry of the newborn, his name is added to the mil lions of names already registered on tapes, discs, and drums. The material which accumulates there will accompany (or pursue) him the rest of his life. If the information on these scattered records could be brought together by the flick of a switch, a substantial dossier could be constructed on just about anyone. Furthermore, if the agency bring ing the data together is the federal government, as in the case of the proposed National Data Bank, the implications for personal security are alarm ing. No one supposes that all data surveillance is bad. It is a temptation, however, to keep extend ing the list of social ends which can supposedly be better met by more and more data without at the same time establishing safeguards to privacy. At stake is something quite fundamental to a free so ciety : the right to be let alone. About half of Rosenberg’s book is devoted to a non-technical review of what computers are all about, with enough examples of computer appli cations in various field to convince even the layman that the information revolution is well-advanced. The other half is a case study of means and ends. In this upcoming census year, the issue of privacy is likely to come in for a good deal of discussion. This book makes fine background reading.
