Digital Punishment illuminates the power of digital tools like Google and state criminal record databases to vastly advance the accessibility of information, while at the same time devastating the reputations and lives of the persons they marginalize. Essential reading for anyone interested in the topics of digital memory, the future of reputation, and the mediation of reality by powerful state and corporate forces."-Frank Pasquale, Piper & Marbury
