“A hyperconnected polity – whether composed of a hundred individuals or a hundred thousand – has resources at its disposal which exponentially amplify its capabilities. Hyperconnectivity begets hypermimesis begets
hyperempowerment.”
“The future looks nothing like democracy, because democracy, which sought to empower the individual, is being obsolesced by a social order
which hyperempowers him.”
