Book excerpt: Hello, and welcome to the typing edition of buymyprivacy. com. This is one book in a series of products including location history and internet history, among others. All products are generated from “semi-private” information that is not generally publicized, but is nonetheless not private in the purest sense; as it is sent to and used by organizations who built the software our behaviors sit atop. This information is turned for a profit by selling our “private” habits to advertisers and marketersThese data are generated by algorithm, for algorithm. They are sent back and forth as JSON objects, unix epoch dates, and other formats; but the habits they reflect are deeply human, albeit mediated by our keys, mice, and thumbs. They contain our habits, our thoughts, our movements, our little eccentricities, and if we do a bitof deciphering, much, much more- our relationships,our occupations, our passions, our goals. This wealth of human information can also be ours to do with what we wish. To demonstrate this, I have begun to sell my “semi- private” information to other humans to decipher and learn about me as a human. This information is not just a data point in a banner ad targeting algorithm.This edition contains every key I pressed on my computer, in full, from April 3rd, 2015 to May 1st, 2015.
