@freddy I may read it although I have been talking about digital slavery for a long time. Aldous Huxley warned us a long time ago about how tyranny would be pleasurable. Carissa's essay is bite sized enough for some who are ready to see they are shackled. As strange as it is to some of us, many prefer slavery to freedom.
