Liz McIntyre is a consumer privacy expert and co-author of a series of books about the societal implications of microchip tracking technology, including Spychips: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track your Every Purchase and Watch Your Every Move. This explosive book reveals how organizations like Procter & Gamble, Wal-Mart, Gillette, and even the U.S. Government are deploying tiny computer chips that can keep close tabs on everyday objects—and even people.
McIntyre served as the Communications Director for CASPIAN (Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering) from 2003 to 2007, and was the master strategist for many of the organization's most successful media campaigns. Her eye-catching headlines and compelling stories helped to make the technical topic of radio frequency identification interesting and accessible to the general public. New York Times reporter Barnaby Feder once commented on McIntyre's writing, saying, "I don't usually see such entertaining metaphors outside of the baseball blogs...where I go for escape reading."
Once a fixture on the talk radio circuit, McIntyre has logged hundreds of hours as a guest expert because of her proven ability to captivate audiences and generate listener calls. She has shared her views on shows like Forbes, Allan Handelman, Thom Hartmann, Greg Allen, CBC Radio, Coast to Coast, BBC Radio, WBAI's "Law and Disorder," and Kiss FM's "Open Line."
