 Interesting, recommended if you live on the American continent March 12, 2008
J.J. Luna writes about something from which he has years of experience. He lived on the Canary Islands during the regime of Fransisco Franco, and as a Jehovah's Witness, was engaged in activities which at that time were considered illegal.
The book has interesting information on what can be done to hide your identity, some of which could likely be of use for someone trying to hide from, let's say, an ex-spouse. As probably could be expected, however, privacy cannot necessarily be easily obtained, considering the amount of data collection that is in place today (see the book "No Place to Hide", if you are interested). For this reason, some of the advise in the book would require an amount of free time, and more than just a minimum income level, to implement.
On the other hand, since everyones budget, available time, and personal needs are different, J.J. Luna provides advise on 3 different levels of privacy protection.
The book would certainly be of interest and useful for people who want to make themselves as untraceable as possible.

Before you even read this book, you need to bear in mind that the author lived in the Canary Islands under Franco's fascist rule, and developed his lifestyle as a response to that.
This book is fairly good but a little paranoia-inducing, and covers the idea of creating a high level of personal security and protecting your privacy. It's a good idea, whether you're running from crazy killers or trying to avoid bill collectors or just don't want everyone in the world to know where you live. However, for many readers who are immediately spurred to take action, the suggestions are a bit unfeasible. If you have been using your home address for years and suddenly switch to a ghost address (private box or other non-residential address), how are you going to expunge your residential from all your old records? Luna recommends renting over buying, in that it is easier to suddenly vacate the premises if necessary, and so he would probably recommend moving somewhere else and never using that address on any official records, but clearly, that is not feasible for most people.
Much of what he recommends is common sense, like using a cross-cut shredder to dispose of all documents, which would seem intuitively obvious but not enough people do it. Readers of the book should use it as a guideline and follow his suggestions until they feel more comfortable about their level of personal security.
