Mitnick, for those who don't know, was once the most famous hacker in the entire world. He spent a little bit of time in prison because of it. It's not the hacking that I am referring to here, though. I'm talking about Mitnick's book The Art of Invisibility. It's a great primer for anybody that is looking at making sure that they are as grey man as possible towards the world at large.

It's an older book, too, however.

That's where Michael Bazzell comes in.

This guy helps people to disappear for a living. The man is routinely hired out by stalker victims, politicians, and celebrities to make sure that their private life is as private as possible so that they don't have to worry about people finding out their phone number, address, email address, etc.  

Where I think he is important is because his work is like The Art of Invisibility for the modern day. Technology is constantly changing, and that means that you have to constantly stay on the alert for what is changing in the world of privacy as well. If you remain static, you're failing.
