The Naked Future (2014)
“It reads: Today is Monday and you are probably going to work. So have a great day at work today!—Sincerely, Phone.
Would you be alarmed? Perhaps at first. But there would be no mystery where the data came from. It’s mostly information that you know you’ve given to your phone.

Today, as you leave work, you will run into your old girlfriend Vanessa (y...ou dated her eleven years ago), and she is going to tell you that she is getting married. Do try to act surprised!
