Minispies are everywhere
In the name of convenience, corporations, marketers, and even your employer are sending tiny electronic spies directly into your home. They’re embedding your clothing, your food, and your gadgets with tracking devices so that they can tailor their services to you. You are being turned into a beacon; a blip on a thousand retail radar screens, unable to hide and incapable of keeping your personal life personal.
RFID tags are all the rage among people who view the future as a bright and shining place where all information is free. In this future, people are happy to give up their privacy in order to shop without ever having to look another human being in the eye or, horror of horrors, actually interact in something as base as a cash transaction. But for the rest of us—who’d rather not have strangers tracking every purchase and mapping every move—they’re the enemy.
