Yuval Noah Harari: ‘If You Have Enough Data on Someone’ You Can Hack that Person and Completely Manipulate Them

EXCERPT:

HARARI: "I think that the key issue is the emerging ability to hack human beings, which was never the case before in history. There is a lot of talk about hacking computers and smartphones and bank accounts, but the really big revolution we are living through is the emerging ability to hack people to collect enough -- if you have enough data on a person, and you have enough computing power, you can have that person, you can understand them better than they understand themselves.”
