Imagine: you get into your car, pick up a book and hit the road. You don't need to drive the car - it drives itself. You don’t even need to tell her where to go, because she’s already checked your planner, and it, in turn, filled itself out by checking your email and electronic training plan. The car takes you not to the store, because drones have already delivered groceries to your refrigerator, which last week itself sent a request to the online store), and not to work (the need for an office has long disappeared), but, say, to the opera. The Internet of Things offers us such a world. It seems that this is science fiction, but all the necessary technologies already exist and are entering mass production. This means that the idyllic reality of the Internet of Things is a matter of the very near future. And this future has a downside: a wave of computer crimes, cyber terrorism and network weapons, total surveillance and loss of control over your own life and the world around you. Samuel Greengard suggests, without delay, going into the future and reflecting on important questions, the answers to which we will soon will be literally vital.
