"People in wealthy countries around the world are seeking to obtain happiness through self enhancement. Today, radically new technologies support this endeavor.

With Data Buddhism, tiresome training of body and mind will be replaced by instant-upgrades of ourselves. My virtual “data selfie” is becoming more important than the reflection in my bathroom mirror. No matter where, in 2030 whichever provider has the most accurate consumer information prevails.

Your fiercest competitor will not be the other spa next door."
