Would it be antithetical? Would it help them push the agenda? Could it be an end game?

      The term network state refers to a new form of political and social organization that leverages technology, particularly the internet and blockchain, to create communities that can operate similarly to countries.

      Never heard of Network States before. Based on the above AI summary and not reading the book, how does this theory handle the physical layer? In the end, someone has to put down and maintain the cable for users to have internet access.

        Theres a book about it, straight up called Network States. I haven’t read it yet because I’m busy as the autocracy is here. But I’m sure its detailed in there. I mostly know that companies will own the land, and use the military as a private police force via some remnant of the federal government.

          I should put it on my to-read list. I have so many questions about this concept, like what happens to the rules of war, peace treaties, production of food and goods, trade, traffies, taxes, education, roads.

          EDIT: From the 1000-word summary of the book its website. First feel is someone has asked these questions already.

          A key concept is to go cloud first, land last — but not land never
