Snowden started freelancing as a web designer for a woman from his Japanese class at AACC. He also later passed the General Education Development (GED) exams at a high school near Baltimore, a promise he made to himself when he dropped out. Instead, he dropped out of Arundel High and enrolled at Anne Arundel Community College (AACC), taking classes two days a week.
He missed four months of classes, and was told he would have to repeat his sophomore year. At the beginning of his sophomore year, he was unusually fatigued and was eventually diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis. He moved into his mother's condo near Ellicott City. Toward the end of his freshman year at Arundel High School, Snowden's parents were getting divorced and sold their Crofton house. He called the lab to notify them of this and later received a call from a man thanking him and offering a job once he turned 18. He recalls one instance of discovering a security flaw on the website of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. He eventually learned computer programming and became a hacker as a teenager, taking his focus away from his schoolwork to the detriment of his grades. From around the age of twelve, he became obsessed with the internet, using a dial-up Internet access and trying to spend his "every waking moment" online. He was introduced to computers by his father, using his Commodore 64 home computer. In Crofton, his father worked as a chief warrant officer in the Aeronautical Engineering Division at Coast Guard Headquarters and his mother at the National Security Agency (NSA). Snowden recounts growing up in a patriotic military family in Elizabeth City, North Carolina and moving to Crofton, Maryland just shy of his ninth birthday. Permanent Record has been censored in China, with the removed content including comments about authoritarian states, privacy-supporting technologies, and the right to privacy. District Judge Liam O'Grady ruled in favor of the U.S. The lawsuit did not aim to restrict the book's content or distribution, but to capture the proceeds Snowden earns from it. Upon release, the United States filed a lawsuit against Snowden for alleged violations of non-disclosure agreements with the CIA and NSA. The writer Joshua Cohen is credited by Snowden for "helping to transform my rambling reminiscences and capsule manifestoes into a book." Snowden also discusses his views on authoritarianism, democracy, and privacy. The book describes Snowden's childhood as well as his tenure at the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency and his motivations for the leaking of highly classified information in 2013 that revealed global surveillance programs.
It was published on Septem( Constitution Day), by Metropolitan Books, an imprint of Henry Holt and Company. Permanent Record is a 2019 autobiography by Edward Snowden, whose revelations sparked a global debate about surveillance.
