Requests:  0 Summary:  At first it might sound familiar at first: a platoon of mostly 19-year-old boys sent to Afghanistan, and an experience that ends abruptly in catastrophe. Their part of the story folds into the next: inexorably linked to those soldiers and never comprehensively reported before is the US Department of Defense's quest to build the world's most powerful biometrics database, with the power to identify, monitor, catalogue, and police people all over the world. Jacobsen's book is part war story, part legal drama, about identity in the age of identification. She reveals a post-9/11 Pentagon whose identification machines have grown more capable than the humans who must make sense of them-- and a people at its mercy. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 958.10478 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 958.10478 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 958.10478 Jacobsen Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 958.10478 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 958.10476 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 958.10478 Ja Transit Add Copy to MyList
