The theme was digital identity, but our conversation took place just as debate over JR East’s installation of cameras in its stations was heating up, so the discussion expanded broadly and deeply from there.
The conversation was summarized with great care, so I think readers will be able to enjoy it while also understanding how Mr. Kurosaka and I think about digital identity and privacy and the concerns we have. It is fairly substantial, so it is being published in 2 installments.
