About this listen

Once in a century or two, a new political theory is formulated to explain current events and offer solutions for the greater good. Past theories included the Philosopher King, Chinese Dynastic Rule, Feudalism, Capitalism, Socialism, Rightest Movements, and the New Left. With the fast spread of digital technology, the source of political power today lies in the democratization of knowledge, along with being the first to develop and exploit new systems. The instantaneous is the imperative. The unstable is now the new stability.

As the author of this audiobook, I liked letting my mind open up—to see the implications of artificial intelligence, internet communities, and unlimited access to knowledge. Then, I had to consider how each of these is changing political life. With so much information, has ideology lost its usefulness? Does the past matter, since the future will be completely different in our new cyber world? Will bureaucracy be trimmed down and less rule oriented because its machines will know everything about the people they serve through huge databases? Property and material wealth may also matter less when everyone has access to and lives in cyberspace, when the physical is replaced by the virtual. Will we have a worldwide Greek polis because we can communicate directly with everyone? Is this the new democracy? What I disliked about writing the book was the lack of any anchors and a feeling this was pure fantasy. Yet it seems inevitable. It’s almost here, all around us in our WiFi. Regarding Vincent Midgard, the narrator, he approached me on ACX about wanting to do this book, and his baritone voice lends stability and authority to an otherwise incredible project—if you are using old logic and theory.
