The instructions felt a little dated, but I still got something out of it. Namely, use a private mail box and keep an air horn by your bed. But he can tell you how if you need to or want to make yourself impossible to find. I did not read this book from page to page, I thought his suggestion on how to use a mnomenic to create secure passwords might have some merit. Thus, my first attempt was successful, my second and third were a disaster. Here is what he suggests..

Key in the first letter of each word, do you know the way to san jose , becomes dyktwtsj then somewhere in the middle place a number and a symbol and it becomes dykt 7wtsj Once you have your master you can add something to it, like BC, for blue Cross. The whole idea is to prevent the need for writing down your pass words. Don't bother reading this book, unless????? Some may say well parts of this are common sense, "Common sense, isn't so common".

Franklin, it's the combination the layers that one can create. But in the mean time the invasive practices have infiltrated almost every part of out lives, they know what we sound like, GoogleVoice, Siri and other Talk to text and similar applications. Hack able smart cars and houses. It's our worst nightmare. It's a book about back to basics, do it now for your children's sake! I say in 15 years will be the point of no return. You can't hide once all the information has been collected its too late! This is one of those books you can't judge by the covers or the blurbs.

I thought it would give me tips to supplement what I already do to avoid having my identity stolen. But no, this is much more than that. Luna is an expert who offers advice on how to live off the grid to varying degrees. After I realized the real aim of the book, I read it for fascination value.

I did glean a few practical tips for my life and as a friend who will be reading the book pointed out, that one tidbit makes it worthwhile. Luna offers practical tips and not everything is clear to me, however he's clear on offering legal ways to be less of a presence in the world. By the way, I shouldn't even be posting this or on this website at all. It's one more way I'm tipping my hand to who I am.

Jan 06, Hilary rated it it was ok. An interesting read, but its clear that a multitude of his suggestions are no longer feasible given recent legislation open a bank account with a passport and out of state mailing address or a utility bill in the name of an LLC? This technique would rely heavily on nominees, and I think people are less inclined than ever to do such a thing.

I found his chapters on LLCs and Corporations, as well as mail-rerouting informative.

This showed me that what I thought my right to privacy is in this electronic age is no more then an illusion. Utter privacy is a privilege that few of us can economically afford. The author is an expert of this material and dividing the goal of why a person seeks a certain level of privacy is important. After finishing this book I have a clear understanding about how to develop the resources to be invisible. The challenges described by Luna make a convincing case as This was an interesting read. The challenges described by Luna make a convincing case as to how and why privacy is important for the average citizen today.

This was a good read. Picked this book up on a recommendation from Frank Ahern's How to Disappear, and found it an overall superior choice - a very interesting read on how to keep or reclaim your privacy. It's imprudent to let so much true information about yourself remain readily accessible to prying hands and J. Luna will show you both why and how to undo the damage.

Definitely recommended, especially to the "I've got nothing to hide" folks, to whom this may be a shocking eye-opener on all the ways they make them Picked this book up on a recommendation from Frank Ahern's How to Disappear, and found it an overall superior choice - a very interesting read on how to keep or reclaim your privacy.

Jun 19, Word Owl rated it really liked it. Side effects include paranoia To anyone who thinks privacy is impossible in a digital age, I encourage you to read this!

Or at least my review here: Feb 09, Mark rated it it was ok Shelves: Aug 04, Ghojuh Singh rated it did not like it. High on self-promotion, low on information. There is a little bit of cool stuff about what P. And whats up with the inside back cover photo? A pic next to a helicoptor? Like dude you're not James Bond. Endures 20 years of hardship and bitches about it.

Also seems like a geriatric regarding High on self-promotion, low on information. Also seems like a geriatric regarding comments about young people etc. You can see he's out of touch in a few chapters. Just read blogs and use google to find info on staying private. Jun 17, Gerald Kinro rated it it was ok Shelves: I enjoyed the information, but it seemed extreme and paranoid most of the time.

Luna gives specific examples of crimes against those whose identity have been compromised. I realize that they are out there. However, the author would have strengthened his case if he had data showing the incidence of those crimes that involve an identity leak. There are many great ideas here on how to keep your privacy. I know I will be implementing some of them. Dec 01, Mark rated it it was amazing. THE manual on staying private - period. Mar 14, Patrick rated it liked it Shelves: Some of the info might be out of date by now but still a good starting point.

With some good reason but a tough chew for some. I had some issues with it, aside from some poor copy-editing and substantive editing. First, and most important, I found many things that actually were illegal in this book. This could be a nationality issue - the book is written for Americans and I am not - but because I had picked a chapter in the middle to read for fun before reading the whole thing and found the things I knew to be illegal, I was now questioning the legality of e Wow, paranoid. This could be a nationality issue - the book is written for Americans and I am not - but because I had picked a chapter in the middle to read for fun before reading the whole thing and found the things I knew to be illegal, I was now questioning the legality of everything in the book.

It made the entire thing less enjoyable for me. The next part was the sexism. Most of the book was simply about the facts but any time there was anything that could be gendered, it reeks of '60's rhetoric - with the man arranging everything and having to protect the poor, little wife. When he suggested names for people he even stuck with only giving male suggestions.

I hate to say it but women have even more cause to have to value their privacy, yet it was not a consideration. It needs to be updated again for modern times. Once one has to log on even once to obtain software, or plug in a stick to transfer files, updating security patches becomes a necessity. As well, more and more, all levels of government just expect people to have access to modern technology and do not have hard-copy alternatives.

I cannot count the number of times I have gotten into some upset because a civil servant has told me that I must now go to the public library for Internet access then, if I cannot afford home Internet, because they simply do not have paper applications, not even to order. I now need a smartphone to call a cab. It's ridiculous and technology is becoming unavoidable. The last issue I am going to mention is the money. His solutions are costly. It is a shame because it is often the people who do not have money who need more protection.

For example, it is those in helping professions cops, social workers, free clinic workers, addiction workers, teachers, therapists, etc. The advice he gives doesn't well serve large groups who would likely need it. While there were some takeaways, most of the advice I will be following was also mentioned in other books on this topic. Dec 11, Webe rated it it was ok. Most of the info the author provides is very generic, I can't say it's worth buying. Each 'tip" provided surrounding privacy issues or becoming invisible is information easily found on the web. And yes, the author is selling services which alludes to deeper knowledge only he can provide.

In marketing this is know as a teaser which is this book - A teaser to convince you to buy his insider knowledge. If you've been in a deep sleep like Rip Van Winkle and just woke up, you might find this book useful. As for the rest of us, nothing about privacy that hasn't been repeated for FREE! Oh, one final note: Be prepared for a LOT of boring anecdotes about the author's experiences and those of his "associates".

Many of which have been picked up from national networks. Yes that's right, the author uses familiar news headlines that have made the rounds on big networks as "personal" accounts.

Luna gives a huge heap of advice on how to live your life in such a way that a private investigator can't find you unless the person that hired them has infinite money. The book proceeds from easiest steps to hardest, starting with how to avoid associating your home address with your name and ending with how to practically disappear when fleeing the country. The various ideas are sort of mind bending. Luna advocates owning personal property like cars with LLCs. He al This was an interesting read.

He also advocates never having debt because of credit reporting and public records. For example, when you buy a house your name is put on the deed which is filed with your county. I had fun for awhile trying to figure out a way to buy property while avoiding my name being on the deed, but it seems rather arduous and expensive, involving lots of lawyer time.
