description: The world is rapidly decentralizing.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 - 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 livesand avoid the robot apocalypse.
