This document discusses negotiating privacy in an increasingly connected world. It notes that always-on surveillance is becoming a reality with wearable computing and the ability to capture moments easily. It summarizes the plot of the novel "The Quantum Thief" which explores what might happen if everything could be recorded. The document then examines potential privacy protocols like gevulot which would allow individuals to control their privacy levels, and public vs private spaces. It concludes with two proposals: developing open privacy standards and building privacy controls directly into new technology devices.
