Description: Praise for Chasing Shadows "This anthology satisfies on many levels. . . . If we enter the transparent world with any kind of foreknowledge, it will be due to well-conceived and well-executed projects such as this one."-- Locus Praise for David Brin's The Transparent Society "As you follow his argument for two-way social transparency, you realize your only hope is that he is right." --George B. Dyson, author of Darwin Among the Machines "Brin expounds upon his belief that people need to keep watch on snooping governments, employers, insurance companies, and so on. . . . In assessing the current state of affairs, Brin divulges a barrage of ways and means of monitoring electronic transmissions." -- Science News "If enough people read Brin's book . . . then it may turn into a self-negating prophecy: a warning of dystopia that by virtue of the horror it paints helps avoid that horror. That was the function of George Orwell's 1984 . That is an honorable role for anyone's book." --J. Bradford DeLong, Professor of Economics, UC Berkeley "David Brin's nonfiction marvel, The Transparent Society , is what Lewis Mumford or Thorstein Veblen might write, could they contemplate our increasingly webbed world and its prospects for social change. . . . Brin's book is full of imaginative, far-sighted concern for how fluid information is going to transform our civil society." --William H. Calvin, neurophysiologist and author of How Brains Think
