We were also at the bottom of the s-curve of social malware and adtech, which turned out to the real outcome of commoditised computing.

The rhetoric of personal creativity and freedom was flattened by something far less interesting and more toxic.

I wouldn't be so keen to rush headlong into a bioware-connected world until that problem is solved.

This indeed is also my main fear. All the nefarious, intrusive, methods of advertising will get a hundred times worse, but now be directly beamed into our brains. Our hypercapitalist economy will only accelerate and exacerbate this.
