Winner, 2026 Harrison C. White Outstanding Book Award, Decision-Making, Social Networks, and Society Section, American Sociological AssociationWinner, 2026 Outstanding Book Award, Altruism, Morality, and Social Solidarity Section, American Sociological AssociationThe concept of privacy is central to public life in the United States. It is the fulcrum of countless conflicts over reproductive rights and consumer protection, the power of tech companies and the reach of state surveillance. How did privacy come to take on such import, and what have the consequences been for American institutions and society?Martin Eiermann traces the transformation of privacy from a set of informal cultural norms into a potent political issue.
