Albrecht, Katherine; McIntyre, Liz Spychips. How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Move with RFID Translated from English by Doina Rogoti Do you know about RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification)? Well, you should, because in just a few years, this explosive new technology could tell marketers, criminals, and government snoops everything about you. Welcome to the world of spychips, where tiny computer chips smaller than a grain of sand will track everyday objects – and even people – keeping tabs on everything you own and everything you go. In this startling, eye-opening book, you’ll learn how powerful corporations are panning a future in where: – Strangers will be able to scan the contents of your purse or briefcase from across a room. – Stores will change prices as you approach – squeezing extra profits out of bargain shoppers and the poor. – In contents of your refridgerator and medicine cabinet will be remotely monitored. – Floors, doorways, ceiling tiles, and even the pictures frames will spy on you - leaving virtually no place to hide. - Mircochip implants will track your every move – and even broadcast your conversations remotely or electroshocks you if you step out of line. This is no conspiracy theory. Hundreds of millions of dollars have already been invested in what global corporations and the government are calling „the hottest new technology since the bar code.” Unless we stop to it now, RFID could strip away our last shreds of privacy and usher in a nightmare world of total surveillance.
