Publisher's Synopsis

As we debate internet privacy, revenge porn, the NSA and Edward Snowden, 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, noted author and futurist David Brin and scholar Stephen Potts have compiled essays and short stories to examine the benefits and pitfalls of technologic transparency in all its permutations.
