The authors appear well informed but from books like this I expect insights, not just facts, especially since none of them are obscure. Having said that, not many books I've read bring attention to the information we leak constantly about ourselves (by, for example, reviewing books online) that can and will be used against us in forms that we don't anticipate. Forget about the government coming to lock you up for wrongthink, unless you live in the UK, think about your social credit score used by your future employer. You thought that only exists in China? China has it centralised and run by the government, we have it as part of our free market. For some reason the author thinks this is somehow in the future while it's very much already in the present. And I'm not talking about employers checking your social media or some similar low-tech approach. Kudos for highlighting this problem.
Bizarrely though the author looks at everything from the government's perspective (as far as I can tell neither of them is a politician) and his only solutions are just pointless legislation that is about as likely to work as GDPR (which he appears to be positive on). The data broker idea isn't a technical(ly feasible) solution either - just more impossible legislation.… (altro)
