Jonathan Franzen
“The aim of the Internet and its associated technologies was to “liberate” humanity from the tasks—making things, learning things, remembering things—that had previously given meaning to life and thus had constituted life. Now it seemed as if the only task that meant anything was search-engine optimization.”
Jonathan Franzen, Purity

Adam  Johnson
“To think what the Stasi went through to spy on us. Even they couldn’t dream of a world in which citizens voluntarily carried tracking devices, conducted self-surveillance and reported on themselves, morning, noon and night.”
Adam Johnson
