Lutte pour la transparence
The Transparent Society
The Transparent Society (1998) is a non-fiction book by the science-fiction author David Brin in which he forecasts social transparency and some degree of erosion of privacy , as it is overtaken by low-cost surveillance , communication and database technology, and proposes new institutions and practices that he believes would provide benefits that would more than compensate for lost privacy. The work first appeared as a magazine article by Brin in Wired in late 1996. [ 1 ] In 2008, security expert Bruce Schneier called the transparent society concept a "myth" [ 2 ] (a characterization Brin later rebutted [ 3 ] ), claiming it ignores wide differences in the relative power of those who access information .
