In our digital world, we are confused by privacy - what is public,
what is private? We are also challenged by it, the conditions of
privacy so uncertain we become unsure about our rights to it. We
may choose to share personal information, but often do so on the
assumption that it won't be re-shared, sold, or passed on to other
parties without our knowing. In the eighteenth century, philosopher
Jeremy Bentham wrote about a new model for a prison called a
Panopticon, where inmates surrounded the jailers, always under
watch. Have we built ourselves a digital Panopticon? Are we the
guards or the prisoners, captive or free? Can we be both? When Kim
Kardashian makes the minutiae of her life available online, which
is she? With great rigour, this important book draws on a Kantian
philosophy of ethics and legal frameworks to examine where we are
and to suggest steps - conceptual and practical - to ensure the
future is not dystopian. Privacy is one of the defining issues of
our time; this lively book explains why this is so, and the ways in
which we might protect it.
