It could be that the book itself—like Gmail, like YouTube—is yet another “Siren Server,” an exciting consumer product that eventually benefits Google, the friendly behemoth that will one day own all of our personal information and get rich off of every part of our daily lives. I can no longer enjoy anything related to digital technology without being suspicious of ulterior motives and considering all of the long-term implications. I can blame, and thank, the cyberpundits for that.

"Newsom laments that, at a time when people are more engaged with each other (online) than ever before, voter turnout has never been lower. Trust in government is down ..."
Ah yes. It's lamentable that more and more people are thinking critically, using common sense, and thus seeing the State for what it really is: eternal enemy of peace, prosperity, and civilization. So let us lament that the Internet is helping wake the rubes from their MSM-induced slumbers; mourn the govt and its trusty cartels of court historians collectively known as mainstream media.
