[...] Josh Harris may not be as well known as Mike Tyson, though within his circles he may be equally notorious. The self-identified godfather of social media, Harris foresaw our fixation with internet-fueled self-aggrandizement and the desperate, insatiable narcissism fueled by Warhol’s promised fifteen minutes. Harris conducted the Web’s earliest, eeriest and most outlandish experiments invading privacies and defiling personal spaces. Were he not so socially maladjusted himself — an Aspie with delusions of grandeur? — he’d likely be touted as one of Utne Reader’s 50 Visionaries or Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential. Instead, he’s been reduced to a world-class vagabond, hunted by creditors and haunted by his own aspirations. Shot over ten years, WE LIVE IN PUBLIC spookily chronicles Harris’ import, impact and implosion, utilizing some of the very footage that both made his name and he’d hoped to further exploit. Directed cooly by Ondi (DiG!) Timoner, the documentary serves as her parable and his penance. WE LIVE IN PUBLIC is pertinent to everyone who now uses Facebook, Twitter or YouTube and has never bothered to read nor consider the fine print. Consequently, the movie is not only the most important documentary of the year, but quite possibly, the most important of our generation. How the Academy could overlook its significance defies reason. (Fortunately, WE LIVE IN PUBLIC is in theaters now, including its continuing run at The Varsity in Seattle.) [...]

Thankfully, Somegreybloke has some of the answers. And Man In The Box has some ideas how to turn the tide: [...]
