Hey, so no one has remarked on the mention of David
Brin's _The Transparent Society_ in Scientific American?
The September issue is about privacy, and the editor's
introduction says:
"...In his book _The Transparent Society_, David Brin
argues that the modern conception of privacy is historically
transient and made obsolete by new technology; rather
than trying futilely to keep secrets, he thinks we should
concentrate on preventing abuses of them by insisting that
everyone, including governments, be an equally open book.
How well that strategy can work in practice is debatable.
..."
It's good to be mentioned.
---David
