Tiggre has a holistic view of various interconnected information systems in the world, and understands that the trouble will not be as simple as a New Year's Eve crash of computers. Even if some of the problems in the story do not come to fruition, the timeline presented here ought to replace the notion that catastrophe will be either imminent or easily avoidable. Yes, the book delves into the philosophy of liberty. Tiggre is known as a staunch proponent of the free society, and he intersperses his teachings with the events. It would be wrong, even if it were not clearly a tactical blunder to do so.
Persuasion is a far better route.
Though it has never worked for extended periods, one thinks that limited government of the sort of Deseret would be the ideal. And of course, leaving the future open to economic governments to coexist with other plans and those who want no government is a beautiful vision - the free society. I first met Don Tiggre and his partner, Sunni Maravillosa, in person last year and was impressed with his desire to spread the message of freedom to everyone. This book has already helped him spread the word to more people. Hopefully his vision can become reality one day.
