The document touches on something that I think is profound and prescient, about the future of government in the face of tech: Giant, monolithic government may not be sustainable as technology enables more and more direct personal involvement of all kinds of activities. If I can use an app to connect me directly with someone in a car to get a ride home, why can't I use an app to connect me directly to the approval process for a bill? Or directly to an appropriations decision? I don't think government will become irrelevant, I just don't think it will survive in the form we've always recognized. As the government begins to thin out under the influence of decentralization and democratization, the need for "20,000 to 40,000" federal cybersecurity employees begins to dwindle.
