Chasing Shadows: Visions of Our Coming Transparent World by David Brin
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1MB
Overview: A science fiction and tech-vision anthology about the coming era of transparency in the Information Age
As we debate Internet privacy, revenge porn, the NSA, and NOT ALLOWED, cameras get smaller, faster, and more numerous. Has Orwell’s Big Brother finally come to pass? Or have we become a global society of thousands of Little Brothers—watching, judging, and reporting on one another?
Partnering with the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination, and inspired by Brin’s nonfiction book The Transparent Society, noted author and futurist David Brin and scholar Stephen Potts have compiled essays and short stories from writers such as Robert J. Sawyer, James Morrow, William Gibson, Damon Knight, Jack McDevitt, and many others to examine the benefits and pitfalls of technologic transparency in all its permutations.
