Description:
How do I know you are who you say you are? Where do we get our identities, our sense of who we are? What happens when our identities become digital? In an examination of historical origins and principles of evolutionary biology, John Henry Clippinger, senior fellow of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School, shows that understanding what science tells us about identity can help us navigate a world that is continuously transforming, with implications for everything from understanding terrorist groups to social networking sites like MySpace and virtual worlds like Second Life.
