<strong>We already know how much of our data is collected and used to profile and target us.</strong><strong>The real question is why, knowing all this, do we keep going back for more?</strong><p><strong>'Great book'</strong>- Matt Ridley, author of <em>How Innovation Works</em></p><p><strong>'Essential reading'</strong> - Pete Etchells, author of <em>Unlocked</em></p><p><strong>'An urgent must-read'</strong>- Tiffany Jenkins, author and broadcaster, presenter of BBC Radio 4's <em>A History of Secrecy</em></p><p><strong>'Enticing and highly addictive'</strong> - Stephen Senn, statistician and author of <em>Dicing with Death</em></p><p><strong>'A pleasure to read'</strong> - Stian Westlake, Executive Chair, Economic and Social Research Council</p><p>Technology has delivered a world that we expect to revolve around us, our needs and preferences, and our unique personalities. We willingly hand over intimate information about ourselves in return for a world that's easier to navigate.</p><p>We live in the Personalised Century, where we view ourselves in terms of what rather than who we are - the objects of others' recognition, rather than the subjects and authors of our own lives. Is this a sign of our shrinking sense of self?</p><p>Interrogating the historical currents that have brought us here, Harkness envisages a messier, riskier and less comfortable world than the one into which we're sliding. Challenging readers to look at what's missing from their personalised menus, <em>Technology is not the Problem</em> encourages us to look afresh at the familiar: not just the technology we use every day, how we relate to the world and those around us.</p>
