The book
Citizen One.
Worried about digital ID? You should be, and you’re not alone.
Our society is sleepwalking into treacherous times. Digital ID is making us more transparent to government, while government is becoming more opaque to us. The pages of history are chillingly clear. This doesn’t end well.

A little bit
about me.
With MyGovID, Aadhaar, EUDI, the “Real ID” Act, and more – governments are claiming ownership of their citizens and extracting their resources.
I can help explain why and what you can do about it.
My grandmother’s chilling stories of her childhood in 1930s Germany, where the government weaponised identity through technology, inspired my study of the relationship between engineering and human identity.
You need to know what I learned!
