Dikizleme Günlüğü

Are you aware? We have already entered the "Age of Peeping." And without feeling it at all. As if we were always living in that era and at great speed. It all started with reality shows. Then YouTube, MySpace, Facebook and Twitter entered our lives. As if that wasn't enough, spyware, blogs, chat rooms, amateur porn videos and mobile cameras were also included. Our lives are no longer a secret; We swam in the sea of details. While we are constantly spying on others, someone is also spying on us all the time. This new situation has changed, and is changing, our perception of privacy, individuality, security, and even humanity, without us realizing it.

Hal Niedzviecki is one of those who noticed this change with his sharp intelligence. We can even say that they are among those who make a difference. Because he goes on a journey in this new world and tells us all his adventures in an entertaining style. His journey begins with video blogs; Then come social networking sites. Then he watches the nanny at home for his little daughter's safety and his backyard to protect himself from thieves. Reality resorts to shows. He hires a private detective. While he notes his experiences in his diary, he adds a sociological dimension to the diary with his analyses. And it poses a very vital question to us: Are we the spider on this web? Or are they just flies caught in a net?

Peeping Diary reveals how new communication tools are changing not only the entertainment industry but also society, and the effects of this new culture on sex, politics and our daily lives. In the book, interviews with the rising stars of reality shows, widely read bloggers and creators of social networking sites are presented in a blend with the latest academic research on the subject. In this way, we witness how popular culture turns into voyeurism, how voyeurism turns into documentaries, art and news bulletins, and how the voyeur turns into a journalist.
