I mean this is certainly something somebody wrote, but the content is a joke.

first off, it's from the 80s, so it might as well be from the 1800s, that's how much it has to do with our everyday lives. second, it's rife and overflowing with prepper-adjacent gas and fantasies. the writer's style is lacking, to be overly generous and the whole thing gives off vibes from the days or alt.* newsgroups. finally, the "advice" in there is laughably naive and sometimes just plain wrong.

so thanks OP, had a few laughs browsing it but this got deleted almost instantly.

Here's an actual good book:

Helen Nissenbaum (2009). Privacy in Context: Technology, Policy, and the Integrity of Social Life. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press. ISBN 9780804772891.

This site immediately got flagged by uBlock Origin's malicious sites filter, do you have an Anna's Archive link or an ISBN I can use to look this book up?

If you're cooked, then just use a lighter to set the thing you don't want to be exposed on fire.

Well the simple ideas in the beginning seem plausible but afterwards it's basically dig a hole, hide the thing, put a house (or tree) on top of it. It's indeed hidden but you also can't access it any more.

Also available on LibGen when this link goes down. Thank you for bringing this to our attention 🫡
