In the evening I met David Cox at the great, grand Grosvenor Hotel near Victoria Station. David is a writer and former broadcast journalist whose work, oddly enough, I was recognizing just as he was being 
recommended to me; just the week before last, he wrote what seemed to be an insightful article about how the economic crisis would inevitably lead to riots and civil unrest, quite possibly in the US and the UK. Within the week, the piece went from seemingly insight right up to penetrating and predictive, as protests and strikes broke out in Iceland, France and the UK–as though David had personally been stirring them up. Equipped with a droll sense of humor, David also shared with me one of his insights, which I aim to steal lock, stock and barrel for my article: young people who live their lives on Facebook, MySpace and YouTube under a relatively benign government and in relatively peaceful times don’t really have much of an idea of what privacy is, or what it’s used for. Above left, David models the outfit he uses to evade the scrutiny of CCTV; at right, he shows the misery he feels living under the relentless gaze of CCTV.
