In the age of unprecedented digital surveillance, nothing stays hidden. Modern technology, once hailed as the liberator of communication and convenience, has woven an intricate web of mass surveillance where no action or memory is private. Every email, text, call, and even location pings from our devices are swept up by powerful global entities without the faintest trace of discretion. These data points are no longer mere packets of information—they have become the essence of our lived experiences, silently cataloged and stored indefinitely. From the intimate moments captured unknowingly on webcams to the precise geolocation data shared between cell towers, every digital interaction is stored in a permanent record, a digital diary of our lives. The ethical lines once held between national security and individual privacy have blurred beyond recognition, with the very organizations tasked with protecting us now spying on us. This realization came to a technologist deeply embedded in the intelligence community, witnessing firsthand the indifference of these powers to the moral implications of their reach. In a world where every moment becomes a permanent record, the question arises—how do we wish to live when we can no longer forget? With no real boundaries between right and wrong, the future is a place where our own data is weaponized against us, leaving generations to grapple with the consequences of complete transparency.
