It’s not just that we have become too reliant on information technology (we have), or that Big Tech has become too powerful (it has) it’s that the advantages of using big data to solve our problems have become undeniable. At best, these hopes are practically implausible.

We continue to relinquish our smartphone data - sometimes in exchange for something as trivial as a coupon - and to cheerfully divulge our most intimate details over social media. And yet the outrage we feel at the latest data breach or uncanny use of machine learning is typically short-lived. Nobody is celebrating the rise of government and corporate surveillance. Most of us chafe at the thought of our data being collected, analysed and sold. There is something paradoxical about our preoccupation with privacy. Life After Privacy: Reclaiming Democracy in a Surveillance Society. This lucid book is public philosophy at its best, writes Paul Showler, though he questions whether there might be ways to envision new and better forms of privacy for our present times. Tawdra weaves an amazing tale that keeps you on the edge of your seat, dying to find out what happens next.In Life After Privacy: Reclaiming Democracy in a Surveillance Society, Firmin DeBrabander argues that rather than seeking to safeguard and revive privacy in the digital age, we should instead focus on becoming engaged citizens who contribute to a democratic public sphere.
