The future can belong to free people and their self-selected communities. Thanks to technological advances in communication these communities may not be limited by location, race, gender, or other antiquated borders.
We could accommodate this diversity today without resorting to promotion or censure; we really could. Yet you and I know that the crumbling bureaucracies and institutions surrounding us don’t have leaders with the will power to make unpopular choices — they are too busy breaking into the vault as our cities prepare to burn.
But we also know that the history of humankind is a chronicle of advances, tempered by periods of monumental setbacks. We will rise again from the ashes of our hubris, and soar once again toward the heavens.
This book sets up the cyberhug.me trilogy, but more importantly it reveals a possible future. You can imagine and then create other futures.
