Privacy matters because it shields us from possible abuses of power. In the age of AI and the internet it is more important than ever. Carissa Veliz offers a much needed philosophical account of privacy by exploring five basic questions: What is privacy? Where does it come from? Why does it matter? What should we do about it?
