Winner of the Sundance 2009 jury award, We Live In Public is both a cautionary tale and a fascinating account of the decade-long exploits of technological and social visionary Josh Harris, "the greatest Internet pioneer you've never heard of." Harris, often called the "Warhol of the Web," made a small fortune during the dot-com boom of the 1990s. With that money he founded Pseudo.com, the first Internet television network, and conducted several other prescient projects including the controversial 1999 experiment that filmed 100 people living together in an underground bunker for 30 days. However, it was his last project that was most foreboding; Harris and his girlfriend lived for six months under 24-hour Web surveillance, an experiment that would lead to his undoing. Harris foresaw the future of life online. He knew that, just like he had, others would willingly trade their privacy for the connection and recognition they so deeply desire. Shannon Abel.
