Kim Stanley Robinson envisions a future for social media / information security where you could agree "to sell your data or not to data-mining operations" and which would force these operations "to offer people micro-payments for their data, mainly health information, consumption patterns, and finance"
"The royalties for being oneself in the world machine were not insignificant, a kind of lifetime annuity, small but useful"
later in the book (379) this becomes the basis for a form of "post-capitalist crowd banking"
