A digital caress: this issue is about our dystopian connection to the virtual world. We look at the legacy of the microchip and the crisis in how our data is being used, while Sophie Haigney considers designers helping us hide from surveillance. Natalie Kane explores the dystopian wellness promised by health apps and editor Priya Khanchandani talks to Yuri Suzuki about designing for our ears. Plus: the new OMM by Kengo Kuma and Associates in Turkey, a football stadium full of trees in Austria, and the reasons why data should be considered architecture.
