How about this scenario. Nanoassemblers are developed and the decision is
made to let the public benefit from them. But in order to be issued a
nanobox of your very own, you must first agree to have your every
interaction with any other human, computer or nanodevice recorded and
publicly stored.

So you have your choice, to be surveilled or not. Curious: Which would
*you* choose?
