Children carry the weight of other people's expectations on their shoulders, and in the technological age that represents a bigger burden than it ever has before. This book is a manifesto for a different digital future for children, in which their rights are respected and their identities are free. We explore new ways of understanding children's risk, schooling, biometrics, privacy issues and technology innovation.
