These thinkers pine for the crack-up: They want to accelerate the breakdown of existing political systems to build something new in the wreckage where they have the advantage, and where the political inheritances of the modern age—including mass democracy, social justice, national self-determination, and the social state—will be sloughed off and left behind like a discarded skin from which a host of private micro-polities clad in sleek exoskeletons could emerge.
