In her upcoming book “The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State,” Jill Lepore warns that tech companies are increasingly replacing the functions of democratic government. So you’ve probably had to do this a lot already, but can you explain what you mean by the “artificial state”? And so, in this book “The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State,” I trace the rise of the idea that we should live under an artificial state or government by machines. I’m really excited about all kinds of intellectual revolutions that we’re in the midst of right now. The artificial state will destroy the natural world, and yet it needs the resources of the natural world to run.
