Information Eclipse: Privacy & Access in America by Michael Fraase Publisher: Arts & Farces Number of Pages: 352 ISBN: 189265900X

Book Summary: "Eclipse" is a very interesting word with multiple definitions. It's from the latin word "eclipsis" which means a leaving out or a suppressing of sounds or words. The word also refers to a failing and a shadowing. Most commonly it's used to describe a cutting off of light. "Information Eclipse" then is the shadowing and suppressing of information. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun. Similarly, a lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes behind the earth and is obscured by the earth's shadow. There are two eclipses with regard to our information rights: one when government occludes our rights and another when corporations take it upon themselves to suppress the rights of individuals.
