Review of We Live in Public (2009) by James T — 11 Sep 2016
At first, I saw Josh Harris as a cross between a social scientist and Jay Gatsby. He seemed somewhat disturbed, but overall quite brilliant and tech-savvy. Then he initiated the "Quiet" experiment.
I don't see how anyone can think of this man as a genius after the experiment (if you can even call it that). To me, it seems as though he transitioned from an intelligent and ambitious man with a few strange but neutral fascinations to an absolute sociopath with a tremendous God complex.
The experiment was completely unethical, and those who took part in it were revolting. If this is truly the future of the technological culture we live in today, then I will give away my possessions and live with the Amish.
