A very uncomfortable reading but in this time, a necessary topic.
The new development since this text was written is the Trump administration dismantling security institutions and intimidating security companies.
And, the rampant illegal data collection of US companies feels increasingly hostile. Why would a smartphone or smartphone app need my fingerprints or microphone?

ok. my reality have been truly checked! i havnt been thinking much about that type of thing, but yea we have definitely put ourselves in a terrible position.
everything that has happened since the 90s... using email for communication, everyone switching to using the cloud for nearly everything, i havnt stepped foot in a bank in 15+ years, so many things rely on computers and the internet now... what happens when most of that stops working!?
theres a lot of scrambling right now with countries trying to get their military back up to speed. let's hope this is something that gets just as much attention.
where do you even start though lol?

If you think that is a terrible position, just think about what happens when electricity is lost for 7 days in a wide area. We are extremely dependant on technology. And that does not need to be a bad thing. Look at Ukraine, despite all of the attacks, they are still there, things still work.
