At the beginning of the twenty-first century, breathtaking
changes in technology are posing stark challenges to our
constitutional values. From free speech to privacy, from liberty
and personal autonomy to the right against self-incrimination,
basic constitutional principles are under stress from technological
advances unimaginable even a few decades ago, let alone during the
founding era. In this provocative collection, America's leading
scholars of technology, law, and ethics imagine how to translate
and preserve constitutional and legal values at a time of dizzying
technological change.
"Constitution 3.0" explores some of the most urgent
constitutional questions of the near future. Will privacy become
obsolete, for example, in a world where ubiquitous surveillance is
becoming the norm? Imagine that Facebook and Google post live feeds
from public and private surveillance cameras, allowing 24/7
tracking of any citizen in the world. How can we protect free
speech now that Facebook and Google have more power than any king,
president, or Supreme Court justice to decide who can speak and who
can be heard? How will advanced brain-scan technology affect the
constitutional right against self-incrimination? And on a more
elemental level, should people have the right to manipulate their
genes and design their own babies? Should we be allowed to patent
new forms of life that seem virtually human? The constitutional
challenges posed by technological progress are wide-ranging, with
potential impacts on nearly every aspect of life in America and
around the world.
