Behind the omnipresent screens of our laptops and smartphones, a
digitally networked public has quickly grown larger than the
population of any nation on Earth. On the flipside, in front of the
ubiquitous recording devices that saturate our lives, individuals
are hyper-exposed through a worldwide online broadcast that
encourages the public to watch, judge, rate, and rank people's
lives. The interplay of these two forces - the invisibility of the
anonymous crowd and the exposure of the individual before that
crowd - is a central focus of this book. Informed by critiques of
conformity and mass media by some of the greatest philosophers of
the past two centuries, as well as by a wide range of historical
and empirical studies, Weissman helps shed light on what may happen
when our lives are increasingly broadcast online for everyone all
the time, to be judged by the global community.
