#4 I Know Who You Are and I Know What You Did by Lori Andrews

Is there such a thing as too much information? Yup - its a scary world out there.  We have more transparency in our personal lives than ever before.  People know more about us and so - unfortunately - do corporations.  And without context of information, incorrect assumptions are made about us by people we don't even know.  I try to explain this to my kids that employers and schools are going to look at their social media presences someday and think they know you but all they know is what you put out there.

That being said, this book was 250 pages of scaring the crap out of you and creating this "social network constitution" without advancing any ideas or strategies about how to protect yourself and what to do about these gross invasions of privacies that are happening daily.

While I do see the value in letting the public know what is going on, there is little value in that without a game plan on how to protect yourself.

Goodreads rating: 2 stars
