It's subtle but clear, from a very early stage Aeryn puts in the effort to be a good partner.

The notion that every single thing we do is recorded, that every purchase, even every mouse click, can be tracked in every way, that there is no part of our lives where we can truly be alone and where we can say that what we are doing is not available for observation—except maybe going to the bathroom and that’s soon to change (how about intelligent toilets that test your excreted fluids and solids). I think the notion that we’re all on camera now is going to cause a subtle shift in our natural behaviors. If we were having a conversation before the camera started, we experience some subtle but genuine difference now that the cameras are rolling. I’m on the air, I’m being broadcast, and I’m not being my normal self. I’m concerned that there isn’t going to be any part of my life where I can be my normal self.
