    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    It is one of those slow afternoons that really gets you thinking. Today my brain went down a weird rabbit hole about how machines actually see us. I am not talking about facial recognition or some creepy sci-fi surveillance state. I am talking about the words we leave behind.Think about your digital footprint for a minute.
