Spychips "make[s] a stunningly powerful argument against plans for RFID being mappedout by government agencies, retail and manufacturing companies."
 –Evan Schuman, CIO Insight
"The book makes a very persuasive case that some of America's biggest companies wantto embed tracking technology into virtually everything we own, and then study our usage pattens 24 hours a day. It's a truly creepy book and well worth reading."
