Abstract

In this age of great exhibitionism, Andrew Keen reminds us that today's creepy can easily become tomorrow's necessity if we take privacy, choice and autonomy for granted. The future will be here before we know it; in the meantime, it makes sense to watch our steps lest we trip into a digital vertigo that isn't necessarily what we want.
