Abstract
This is an interview with David Brin, a science fiction author, and the Switch staff. They discuss some topics of Brin’s book, "The Transparent Society". The main hypothesis of this book is reciprocal surveillance for accountability and decentralization of power. Brin discusses his thoughts on privacy, such as real privacy, illusory privacy, and a third kind of privacy. He goes on to connect surveillance with power and the government. He continues with how people react to the advances of technology and how they learn from past generations.
