Abstract

Societies change. In a data-driven society, we all become like tadpoles, trailing our trajectory behind us. In the cloud, we all have a super file. It records nearly all of your behaviors and is updated each day to stay fully integrated. The super file can be checked or verified by anyone, and it can be fully analyzed by a computer. This super file and its analysis and tracking will work differently depending on whether we are talking about a democratic or authoritarian society. However, that’s not to say that democratic societies can avoid abuse. I have already covered a number of these potential abuses but this chapter will focus on one of the positives: with the spotlight of data to shine, crime can be averted. We might finally live in—to borrow a famous phrase—a world without thieves.
