Our Comrade the Electron by MACIEJ CEGLOWSKI
"We put so much care into making the Internet resilient from technical failures, but make no effort to make it resilient to political failure. We treat freedom and the rule of law like inexhaustible natural resources, rather than the fragile and precious treasures that they are.
And now, of course, it's time to make the Internet of Things, where we will connect everything to everything else, and build cool apps on top, and nothing can possibly go wrong."
Highly recommend you read this very poignant essay. Predicting how society, culture and governments will respond to technological change is nearly impossible.
