Spychips : how major corporations and government plan to track your every move with RFID / Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre.

This is a pretty disturbing book to me as it basically documents (with a huge amount of footnotes) the history and future of master planners' strategies to spy on Americans without their knowledge or consent using radio frequecy identification chips, which can be made so small as to not even be detected by the human eye. There are different types of chips, in all sizes, that can perform different functions, including broadcasting your location and all types of information that can be stored on them. Examples of RFID chips now currently being used are like the ones some pet owners have had embedded under their pet's skin that contain information about the pet, including it's owner's name and contact information that can readily read with a special scanner similar to ones used at the grocery store and libraries, and most new cars that have GPS in them also have a RFID chip. The book goes into the possible ramifications of the unrestricted use of RFID chips. The two women who wrote the book are just concerned suburban housewives, who have so far managed to foil some of the master planners' strategies. If you are concerned about "Big Brother" and keeping your personal freedoms this is a must read.
