Working on a book about digital totalitarianism: Bio-Object

This is the third night in a row I haven't slept at all. I'm working on my book “Bio-Object.” I still haven't fully recovered from dengue fever; recovery usually takes several months to minimize the risk of future complications. So I'll be conducting my expedition and research work at a slower pace, focusing on studying scientific research, gathering data, and writing books. It's long past time to finish what I started.

I'll quote from the book:

“In this new imposed social contract, privacy is declared an anachronism. The state assumes the role of a caring but strict parent who knows more about the citizen than the citizen knows about himself. And in exchange for the illusion of absolute security and a predictable world, a person gives up his very agency. He becomes entirely an object of control. He becomes an infantile ‘three-year-old child,’ with every decision made for him by the mommy-state: she wipes his nose, feeds him, and takes him out to play in the sandbox.

The paradox of digital totalitarianism built on the idea of security is that, in the end, it makes society totally vulnerable. A system that knows everything and controls every step strips society of its living immune system. Any error in a centralized algorithm, or any takeover of the system by malicious actors, can have catastrophic consequences because citizens no longer have alternative, decentralized means of self-organization.”
