Fiction

Richard Stallman's take (for you GNU geeks out there): http://stallman.org/ebooks.pdf

Personally, as a sense of scale, e-reading records don't worry me too much--there is waaaaay more information to be gleaned from me with every text, every call, every web visit, and every posting potentially feeding into the machine. Sort of like dressing in black and lying down at midnight in the middle of a busy street, looking at the sky and worrying about being hit by a meteor...

Unrelated to e-reading, but an interesting read, e- or otherwise, is David Brin's book _The Transparent Society_. It's getting on in age now--technology advances, but his thought process is still worth following.
