Free people don’t need their electronic leashes to work 24/7 (so their boss can email when they’re taking the train to meet with a friend at 11 pm Friday) and track them everywhere. Slaves do. This freedman really doesn’t care one way or another about living in some marketeer’s wet dream of an “advanced” society.
I prefer the idea of a comfortable, honest, and just society to an advanced one. I can’t think of a single time when being able to yap-yap-yapp or connect to the intarwebz on the subway would have enriched my life materially.
The great thing about e-books is that they’re downloaded for off-line use.
