The Social Singularity

How Decentralization Will Allow Us to Transcend Politics, Create Global Prosperity, and Avoid the Robot Apocalypse

By: Max Borders

Narrated by: Russell Newton

What if politics as we know it is about to end?

What if humanity soon organizes itself not in hierarchies, but in hive minds?

Should we fear the robot apocalypse?

Welcome to The Social Singularity. In this decentralization manifesto, futurist Max Borders shows that humanity is already building systems that will “underthrow” great centers of power.

Exploring the promise of a decentralized world, Borders says we will:

• Reorganize to collaborate and compete with AI
• Operate within networks of superior collective intelligence
• Rediscover our humanity and embrace values for an age of connection

With lively prose, Borders takes us on a tour of modern pagan festivals, cities of the future, and radically new ways to organize society. In so doing, he examines trends likely to revolutionize the ways we live and work.

Although the technological singularity fast approaches, Borders argues, a parallel process of human reorganization will allow us to reap enormous benefits. The paradox? Our billion little acts of subversion will help us lead richer, healthier lives - and avoid the robot apocalypse.

Extremely thought provoking

For anyone who care about the world taking the next step towards long-term peace and prosperity this is a must read/listen!

Fantastic book on decentralization and polyarchy

I wasn't too convinced by some of the spiral dynamics stuff, but otherwise the book provided many insights and food for thought.

Fantastic!

Nothing better than a book that explains what is going on succinctly and gives options and plans of action to move forward.

Unnecessarily rude and dismissive

The writer clearly knows their subject but makes large leaps in logic and then calls anyone that doesn’t agree with them names.
