**Our gadgets are getting smarter. Technology can log what we buy, customise what
we consume and enable us to save and share every aspect of our existence. In the
future, we’re told, it will even make public life – from how we’re governed to how
we record crime – better. **

But can the digital age fix everything? Should it?

society – and risk losing the opacity and imperfection that make us human.

paying for it
