Rezensionen

"This is an eye-opening book. Our digital selves are so used to data sharing, often without questioning how this data is used, where it is stored and, in the end, for what purpose. I am not negative towards these advanced technologies, e.g. GPS. But having read this book ... makes me think about - not only how our modern societies and self-representations are constructed- but also - how should we apprehend them and to what extent accept them. I recommend this book warmly." (Anne L.C. Runehov, ESSSAT News & Reviews, Vol. 31 (2), June, 2021)
