AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The government and big corporations are watching my every move. I imagine a little man wearing glasses. He is extremely intelligent, geeky and forever taking notes. He knows that when I get up I immediately check my Twitter feed. He knows who I follow and who is following me. He knows how many friends I have on Facebook, how many of them are female and how many of those female friends are single. If that isn't creepy enough he can also see who I'm dating, how long we've been together and what I'm talking about with them online and on my phone.' (Publication abstract)
