Exposed: Desire and Disobedience in the Digital Age
Abstract
Exploiting our boundless desire to access everything all the time, digital technology is breaking down whatever boundaries still exist between the state, the market, and the private realm. Bernard Harcourt offers a powerful critique of what he calls the expository society, revealing just how unfree we are becoming and how little we seem to care.

“More profoundly, use of digital technologies such as ICT platforms (infrastructures) seems to have perverse effects -leading not to an increase in individual autonomy, as hoped for, but to a loss of it.”

In the citing paper
“Furthermore, it is a loss to which people voluntarily 'agree', by opting in, lured by the attractiveness of everyday conveniences (Harcourt, 2015) and unaware of underlying structures and processes that are beyond their control but are, in turn, insidiously controlling them (Lanier, 2018;West, 2019;Zizek, 2020).”

In the citing paper
“Despite the alluring improvements offered by this technology to human living conditions (see Harcourt, 2015;Gigerenzer, 2022), the Big Other influences individual behaviour in nontransparent ways, for purposes that serve the economic and political interests of actors who are not accountable to others and who largely operate beyond democratic control systems and the rule of law (see also West, 2019”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
