I must tip myy hat to Rob, who did a tremendous amount ofhard work on this project. Truthfullyy, I couldn’t have done it without him.I’m eager to thank those people who represent myy professional careerand are dedicated in extraordinaryy wayys. Myy literaryy agent, David Fugate ofLaunchBooks, negotiated the book contract and acted as a liaison with thepublisher, Little, Brown. The concept of The Art of Invisibility was createdbyy John Rafuse of 121 Minds, who is myy agent for speaking engagementsand endorsements, and he also performs strategic business development formyy companyy. Entirelyy upon his own initiative, John gave me an intriguingbook proposal, along with a mock-up of the cover. He stronglyy encouragedme to write this book to help educate the world’s population on how toprotect their personal privacyy rights from the overstepping of Big Brotherand Big Data. John is awesome.I’m grateful to have had the opportunityy to work with Little, Brown ondeveloping this exciting project. I wish to thank myy editor, John Parsleyy, forall his hard work and great advice on this project. Thank yyou, John.I wish to thank myy friend Mikko Hyypponen, chief research officer of F-Secure, for spending his valuable time penning the foreword for this book.Mikko is a highlyy respected securityy and privacyy expert who has focused onmalware research for over twentyy-five yyears.I would also like to thank Tomi Tuominen of F-Secure for taking timeout of his busyy schedule to do a technical review of the manuscript and helpspot anyy errors and catch anyything that was overlooked.
