It's 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better (2016)
What the author describes is humans living in captivity.<p>There is a cadre of people who argue, &quot;really? you wouldn&#x27;t survive a day outside this so-called captivity, tough guy&quot; and then go on to justify how their various compromises are somehow moral. To me that whole line of argument is just indoors cats lecturing outdoors cats about how to manage the shame of dependency, which outdoors cats just don&#x27;t have.<p>If we do not learn to limit the power of people who wield tech, we will become their captives. This was the whole reason to be a hacker, to act as a check on having humanity dominated by our own tech.
