Quarantines, Phones and the Information Bomb: Permanent Record (Edward Joseph Snowden)

One of the worst parts of working from home is that you are always at work. Your phone doesn't stop pinging and since your workaholic brain feels such guilt at being in your pajamas while at "work" you overcompensate by always being available. So while I am technically still working, I thought what's a work from home if you don't take time out to fill out your review blog? And this week it is going to be a barrage of reviews because after Edward Snowden's Permanent Record I am almost scared of being too cozy with my laptop or my phone and its a paranoia which is indescribable till you actually read the book. So I will be instead reading more. At least books don't spy on you. Till now. that is. I chanced upon Edward Snowden's Permanent Record through a colleague. I had hardly seen it in my store and she told me she had to request the merchandiser to get it specially for her. At INR 775 it is also an expensive book for most people to pick up
