Always On: Open to Your Suggestions

(The following is an update on my book project Always On: How the iPhone Unlocked the Anything, Anytime, Anywhere Future. For a brief description of the book, see my introductory post.)

My one-month book sabbatical is coming to an end soon, and I’ve made good progress. I’ve covered topics that I feel will be highly relevant (and hopefully fascinating) to people interested in the big-picture implications of an always-connected mobile future. Without spoiling everything, some highlight topics include the effects of a constant connection on human psychology (are we getting dumber or smarter?), the impacts of mobile on medicine and health, and the inevitable erosion of privacy.

With a significant chunk cleared off my plate, I’d love to take the opportunity to hear your ideas for what you’d like to see in this book. Any particular topics intrigue you? Feel free to send an e-mail to brianxchen [at] gmail [dot] com.

Thanks for following along!
