In a world where intrusive technology has become a daily affair and governments and others break the law to eavesdrop and surveil ordinary people, we have grown lazy and blase about these intrusions - not seeing what a Big Brother corporate state could actually become in the near future.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort.
