A cut above contemporary literature in the field of privacy. Plan B provides a good summary of the issues involved in the quest for a simpler, more anonymous life. Beginning with the humorous introduction of fictional characters in need of disappearing, the book goes on to provide a wealth of technical and legal information that someone on the run may actually need. Chapters include a description of modern threats to privacy and strategies to counter them, basic forensics, asset protection, life off the grid and many destinations in the "Land of the Disappeared." Light summer reading or a manual for a vanishing act? You will be the judge.
