The Trust Manifesto: What You Need to Do to Create a Better Internet by Damian Bradfield
4.0
"When you step away to consider it, our lives are wondrous in what we take for granted."
This book/manifesto underlines again what I already knew: big companies are using our data against us. We are not people anymore but users and we are milked for our attention and interest so we can be milked out of our money and our joy of living.
My favourite question for data scientists is: What did you want to achieve when you started? When you were a kid, did you dream you’d be able to learn so much about a person that you’d be able to market to them on a granular, almost cellular, level? Did you think you’d join a cult called data? Did you dream of capturing every heartbeat from the people around you? Did you dream of becoming a socially acceptable stalker?
