In the age of ubiquitous screens, a digitally networked public has surpassed the population of any nation on Earth. At the same time, individuals are hyper-exposed to a worldwide online broadcast that encourages public scrutiny, judgment, rating, and ranking of their lives. This interplay between the invisibility of the anonymous crowd and the exposure of the individual before that crowd is a central theme of this book. Drawing upon critiques of conformity and mass media from renowned philosophers and a wealth of historical and empirical studies, Weissman illuminates the potential consequences of our lives being increasingly broadcasted online for all to see, subject to judgment by the global community.
