Traces on asphalt
Traces on asphalt
George Orwell lived in the heyday of totalitarianism. His "1984" describes an extreme case of what communism or fascism can become. Total control of the person through a certain analogue of the global information network. "Big Brother is watching you." Scary for several generations.
... there is no risk of it. This is just the head of your head. May be that's enough ...
(... The concept of "private life" has been dead for many years, because we cannot risk it. All the private life that remains is in your head. Maybe this is enough ...)

This is from the movie "Enemy of the State." The end of the last century, the story of how, in the most (type) democratic state in the literal sense of the word, a person is interfered with dirt and in a few days everyone selects. At the same time using modern communication and computer technologies.
I read How Smart Crowds by Howard Rheingolds about a year ago. A good text describing our present in terms of the impact of mobile technology and telecommunications on a person’s daily life. Bruce "Chairman" Sterling in his small text Harvey Feldspar's Geoblog extrapolates the situation further and shows what we can expect in about ten years. The presentation is curious (the story goes in the form of blog postings on behalf of a top geoblogger). Technical details can hardly be called revelations, but something else is interesting. By sticking into the buttons of our mobiles and by tapping on the e-mails on the keyboard, we produce information about ourselves. A lot of information. I think no less than getting Big Brother through the screen never dying TV. And without obvious intervention in the personal life of a person.
Essentially what Harvey Feldspar's Sterling puts out in Geoblog torpedoes the old 80s cyberpunk texts, putting an end to the opportunity described in them to win the war between man and the system.
Cyberpunk hero - a lone hacker - a type in the past. The hero of the new time, the upcoming "augmented reality" - is primarily one who knows how not to leave his traces in the information space. Simulacrum, not only sweeping traces of its operation to hack the corporate server, but also distorting the digital version of its life over the years. An interesting and not yet plowed topic for fiction - how to go unnoticed in the upcoming virtual space of the new generation ...
... in which communications and computers erase not only social and geographical boundaries. They destroy our personal space.
