Future is Now, Part 58
It's always a bit unsettling when reality has the temerity to confirm a speculative scenario. It's rarely a 100% match; more typically, it's a parallel event that reinforces the underlying logic of said forecast. Better still, this one, as it...
Lies, Damn Lies, and Twitter Bots
Bear with me -- this is going to get twisted. I've been paying quite a bit of attention to the use of deception as a tactical method, from real-world griefing to deception as a means of protecting privacy. I'm particularly...
New Pollution
I spoke last month at the Swissnex office in San Francisco (Swissnex is kind of the Swiss embassy for technology issues), at an event entitled "Data is (sic) the New Oil." The focus of the event was the tension between...

Massively-Multiplayer Decepticon
A new pandemic is sweeping the planet. Police fired on secessionist demonstrators in Oregon. The Chinese government is trying (unsuccessfully) to suppress news of eco-terrorists bombing multiple coal-fired power plants. We're looking at climate refugees numbering in the tens of...
The Griefer Future
Nice little future you got there. Hate to see something bad happen to it. The blending of the physical and immersive digital worlds -- the metaverse -- inevitably produces bizarre results. I've noted (and we've started to see examples of)...
The Participatory Decepticon
What happens when not only have the tools of documenting the world become democratized, so too have the tools for manipulating our interpretations of reality? The rise of technologies of ubiquitous personal observation -- what I've termed the "participatory panopticon"...
