Documenting these times is essential. Everything is changing so fast that we don’t even notice. And we must take notice.

My bank introduced 'biometric authentication' last month.

Mandatory, naturally.

Now my face is security infrastructure.

At 67, I remember when your body was private. When access didn't require biological submission.

We're normalising corporeal surveillance so gradually that nobody's noticed we've stopped owning ourselves.

Apparently convenience is worth trading your fingerprints. Who knew?
