About the author

Edward Snowden is an American former National Security Agency contractor who became widely known after leaking classified material tied to U.S. surveillance programs. In the data here, he is listed as a memoir writer, with one title associated with him: Permanent Record, published in 2019.

His writing sits at the intersection of personal testimony, technology, and public policy. Based on the supplied information, he writes from direct experience inside the intelligence world, so his work is likely to focus on secrecy, surveillance, privacy, and the tensions between government power and individual rights.

A good place to start is Permanent Record, especially if you want a memoir that explains the events from the inside and connects a personal story to broader questions about data, oversight, and modern surveillance. It should suit readers looking for a contemporary nonfiction narrative with a strong political and technological context.
