“We know that a man is not a thing and is not to be placed at the mercy of things. We know that air and water belong to all mankind and not merely to industrialists. We know that a baby does not come into the world merely to be the instrument of someone else’s profit.” — James Baldwin – Without Innovation: African American Lifeworlds and the Internet of Things
