Good Morning,
"The emergence of cyberspace could represent something as significant to human cultural evolution as the discovery of agriculture and the corresponding abstract power hierarchies established to govern agricultural resources. Cyberspace is a globally-adopted belief system that is radically transforming the way society organizes itself, in much the same way that agrarian abstract power hierarchies did. Just as agrarian society led to the formation of empires, so too does cyberspace appear to be leading to the formation of cyber empires, complete with the threat of oppressive rulers rising to the top of the hierarchy. If history repeats, then the inevitable next step for digital-age society after the emergence of software (i.e. computer-generated abstract power) is the emergence of softwar (i.e. computer-generated physical power) to physically dismantle, decentralize, rebalance, and constrain it."
