I really enjoyed reading this piece, not only for its discussion of privacy, but also for its poetic and reflective language. There&#x27;s something more than technical about today&#x27;s surveillance problem, and the author approaches this issue from a philosophical and, at times, almost spiritual angle.<p>These are the kinds of discussions we need to have more often: not only what&#x27;s going on and what it means in practical terms, but also how today&#x27;s surveillance explosion changes who we are and how we relate to ourselves.
