Hierarchy has ruled this world forever. Not much would exist without it. Not cities, not technology. Digital technology has been making hierarchy stronger. Technology and hierarchy have joined forces for a thousand reasons. Neither of them are capable of caring about our well being above their own.
Democracy cares about us a lot, because it is us. Can computer technology also make democracy stronger? More resilient? Can it make democracy easier? Change is upon us. Where are we going? Questions about that are explored in this book. Take a journey through this strangely storied poignant plotting of our walk into tomorrow. It should be fine.
