5. Unwired: Gaia Bernstein

Richard and Dan are joined by Seton Hall Law School Professor Gaia Bernstein to discuss her book on the perils of our screen technologies. Gaia, who is also the Co-Director of two institutes at Seton Hall -- the Institute for Privacy Protection and the Gibbons Institute of Law, Science and Technology -- presents an engaging but troubling account of how we all have been duped by technology companies. Drawing on similar examples in history, from tobacco manufacturers to food manufacturers, and making it very personal, the book provides a captivating read on our modern world. In our conversation, we discuss the causes but more importantly, the possible solutions to this very complex area of law and policy.
