Edward Snowden was a 29-year-old computer genius working for the National Security Agency when he shocked the world by exposing the near-universal mass surveillance programs of the United States government. His whistleblowing has shaken the leaders of nations worldwide, and generated a passionate public debate on the dangers of global monitoring and the threat to individual privacy. Guardian reporter Luke Harding tells Snowden's story -- from the day he left his glamorous girlfriend in Honolulu carrying a hard drive full of secrets, to the weeks of his secret-spilling in Hong Kong, to his battle for asylum and his exile in Moscow. For the first time, Harding brings together the many sources and strands of the story -- touching on everything from concerns about domestic spying to the complicity of the tech sector -- while also placing us in the room with Edward Snowden himself.

Originally published in Great Britain by Guardian Books, London, and Faber and Faber Ltd., London, in 2014.
Adapted into a film titled Snowden by Oliver Stone in 2016.
