Quite vague on any details about how this would actually be workable, but that might just be the reporter's slant.
Is there some version of this that doesn't sound like a corporate technofascist dystopian anti-fantasy?
The most interesting idea for me was about whether something similar could emerge within already existing states, performing some of their functions but otherwise hybridizing with them. Remote work and starlink and so on open up some geographic possibilities for networked communities.

- rsynnott 2y ago> Except maybe SeaOrg of L Ron Hubbard infamy Yeah, that’s probably the closest, but it only works because it parasitises an actual country (the US), and is very circumspect about what it actually _is_. It wouldn’t be tolerated for a _minute_ if it went around openly calling itself a country.
- thephyber 2y agoAgree. I’m not advocating for any of these, just pointing out that they exist.
