Snowden is the best example of US patriotism since Ellsberg.

In Edward Snowden’s New Memoir, the Disclosures This Time Are Personal

"Born in 1983 in North Carolina, Snowden comes from a family whose service includes the F.B.I. (his grandfather), the Coast Guard (his father), the N.S.A. (his mother) and the Army (himself).

"He remembers the first thing he ever hacked was bedtime, changing all the clocks in the house so that he could stay up later on his sixth birthday.

"As a teenager, Snowden learned how to hack school, examining the class syllabus to figure out how he could exploit its weaknesses; the goal was to do the least amount of work without flunking out.

"School was at best a distraction, he says, and at worst 'an illegitimate system' that 'wouldn’t recognize any legitimate dissent.'

"He preferred to spend time on 'something new called the internet,' a 'goddamned miracle' that was still distinctly human and profoundly weird, before monetization and surveillance set in."
