Did you read Chaos Monkeys? What about Dragnet Nation? Both (of which are not new) peek behind the curtains you're concerned about. Both are recommended, and freightening. It's only going to get worse.

Borrowed Chaos Monkeys from the library based on this post. Thanks for the recommendation, it's very engaging so far.

The best bit - relevant to this HN privacy discussion - is about two-thirds in. It's where FB cracks the code (breaks the back of privacy) and heads for advertisers' nirvana. And that was 5+ yrs ago.

And yes, his style is very entertaining. I hope you enjoy it.
