Reminds me of the fictional TruYou product from the book The Circle. Which is a fascinating read that explores how "good" intentions like this can end in undes

  On the one hand, I have some trouble recommending The Circle because it's so heavy-handed and overwrought. I nearly put it down. But, if you read it as a deliberately over-the-top "if this goes on" cautionary tale, it's a lot easier to appreciate it IMO.

    True - I liked that it had some points to think about and a few insights, but it is fairly heavy-handed. Just finished Cumulus as a similar recommendation to the Circle and hated it. It made the Circle look wonderfully nuanced in comparison. Characters frequently recapped previous chapters, every implication and inference was enumerated explicitly in great detail, etc. essentially no thinking required.
