The future where every little thing is up to a direct vote through an app sounds dystopic to me. Setting aside the author's very clear ideological inclinations, the fact is the more things people have to agree on, the more conflicts will arise. We could lower the operational cost for taking a decision, but the human and social exertion remains. Actually, by making it easier to put up anything for debate, the effect will be to take more decisions into the sphere of the state. But the worst of this is that it assumes that Government's role is to fulfill the wishes of citizens and in this framework, AI and software are the tools to learn what those wishes are.
