I’ve written an article for the September issue of Scientific American magazine called The End of Privacy? The article is available online here, with a slightly different title: Do Social Networks Bring the End of Privacy?.
The entire issue is devoted to privacy, and there are some other really interesting articles. Here are links to the other articles in the issue:
