REBOOT Chapter 2: Infancy

What the heck is a 'baby wearable,' anyway?

This week, the second of ten special podcasts corresponding to the chapters in Reboot: Reclaiming Your Life in a Tech-Obsessed World.

In this episode, author and psychologist Elaine Kasket talks with author and mum of two Stephanie V. about parental anxiety, high-tech monitoring and the digital divide of infancy; with Oxford Internet Institute director Professor Victoria Nash about what's drawing us to so intensively surveil our offspring; and with Professor Tama Leaver of Curtin University in Australia about what’s happening to all the data accumulated by ‘baby wearables.’

Have we come to think about tech-facilitated ‘surveillance parenting’ in infancy as simply good, responsible parenting? And, if so, what are the implications for both our children’s present and their future?

Some UK and European pre-order links are shown below. US readers, stay tuned for more information for when and how you can read/hear REBOOT in the United States.
