Neural technologies are intruding deeply into our lives. David Grant argues we can take advantage of them by reconceptualizing privacy.
David J. Grant is a Senior Fellow at the University of Melbourne Law School. After serving the administration of justice, Grant authored four books, radically reconceiving the relationship of the citizen with Christianity, the State, the Market, and Technology. His third book was co-authored with Professor Lyria Bennett Moses of the Law School, University of New South Wales.
'David Grant's latest book is interdisciplinary work of the best
kind, sweeping across the usual boundaries. He gives us a fresh,
ambitious and potentially highly significant new concept of privacy
in which neurotechnology is seen as a potential benefit rather than
inevitably a threat. The promise of a new approach built around
respect and responsibility is particularly attractive and timely.'
David Dixon, author of Law in Policing and From Prohibition to
Regulation
'This is a formidable work: closely argued, wide-ranging,
well-informed and bold. It combines philosophical history and
argument, close familiarity with recent advances in the
neuroscience and the many planets of the cyberverse, with
reflection on their human impacts and what might and should be done
with and about them. From all this emerges an original and
challenging theory of the nature and conditions of privacy in a
modern hyper-technologized world. There is much to argue with here.
It is all worth the argument.' Martin Krygier, author of Philip
Selznick: Ideals in the World
