Cyber Citizens
Beneath the surface of every click, share, and scroll, an intricate architecture of data collection and algorithmic influence is constantly at work. We often feel a vague unease about how much of our lives are lived online, yet rarely pause to consider the invisible threads connecting our digital selves to a vast, unseen network. This book reveals the subtle shifts happening beneath the surface of our digital lives, showing how our casual interactions — a quick search, a social media like, or even just our presence on a website — contribute to a 'transparent self' that is constantly observed and analyzed. It's a thoughtful exploration of the trade-offs we make for convenience and connection, and how these choices impact our personal freedom and collective society, often without our full awareness.
