Here's the Plot of Your Next Novel

'The potential for horror is enormous. If a criminal can easily find out where you are, what stores you frequent, what your daily habits are, who your friends are, and even what your personal food, entertainment, and beverage preferences are, you can be targeted with a level of ease never before possible,' said David Gewirtz, editor of Zatz Publishing, a producer of special interest online magazines.

'I worry that there is a deep and dangerous dark side to social networks. I worry about the potential victims,' he said."
