Welcome to the age of techno-feudalism, where democracy is optional. In 032c #47’s dossier “Techno-Feudalism: I’m Sorry, But You Do Not Have Enough Coins for Democracy,” designed by the legendary DAVID CARSON, we excavate the prehistory of the current operating system with Cédric Durand and look into the future with Jens Hillebrand Pohl. Edited by Shane Anderson, the dossier also includes Günseli Yalcinkaya’s exploration of the tech world’s obsession with knights in shining armor.
