Behind the Cloud
A Theory of the Private Without Secrecy
Peter Seele | Lucas Zapf
Business & Economics / General
Based on a wealth of case studies, this book develops a typology of privacy in the history of ideas and shows in which areas of life big data has already found its way.
Thoughts are free - but they are no longer secret. Today, our data and thoughts are stored behind the cloud - where we ourselves can no longer look. Our information is entrusted to the Internet forever, collected with and without our consent. "Privacy is dead" as Mark Zuckerberg put it.
But how could it come to this? And if everyone knows everything: What then is still private today, and are there any secrets at all?
With an epilogue on privacy from a legal perspective by Bertil Cottier.
