Balaji Srinivasan | Green Pill #28
Balaji Srinivasan recently published The Network State, which explores ideas surrounding digital communities and the future of how we coordinate as a species.
A startup society fosters the emergence of network unions, which evolve into a network archipelago—eventually calcifying into the network state.
As we muse about the fate of human systems, we explore mental models for understanding the digital revolution and how we can allow coordination to thrive.
Take the green pill anon.
