The Next Middle Ages - Roberto Vacca
The Next Middle Ages: Embracing the New Feudalism
In his groundbreaking book, "The Next Middle Ages: Embracing the New Feudalism," Roberto Vacca presents a compelling vision of the future, where the world is divided into a new feudal system. This system is not based on land ownership, but on control of information and technology.
Vacca argues that the rise of the internet and the digital revolution have created a new class of "techno-feudal lords" who control access to the most important resources of the 21st century. These techno-feudal lords are not just the owners of big tech companies, but also the governments and institutions that regulate them.
The new feudal system has a number of negative consequences, including:
- Increased inequality: The techno-feudal lords have a monopoly on the most important resources, which allows them to extract wealth from the rest of society. This has led to a widening gap between the rich and the poor.
- Reduced social mobility: The new feudal system makes it difficult for people to move up in society. This is because the techno-feudal lords control the access to education and opportunity.
- Increased surveillance: The techno-feudal lords have the ability to track and monitor our every move. This has led to a loss of privacy and freedom.
Vacca argues that we need to embrace the new feudalism and work to create a more just and equitable society. He proposes a number of reforms, including:
- Breaking up the power of the techno-feudal lords: We need to break up the monopolies of the big tech companies and the governments that regulate them. This will allow for more competition and innovation.
- Investing in education and opportunity: We need to invest in education and opportunity so that everyone has a chance to succeed. This will help to reduce inequality and social mobility.
- Protecting our privacy: We need to protect our privacy from the techno-feudal lords. This means passing laws that limit the amount of data that companies can collect about us.
"The Next Middle Ages" is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the future of our world. Vacca's analysis is clear and concise, and his proposals for reform are both practical and visionary. This book is a wake-up call to the dangers of the new feudalism and a call to action for a more just and equitable society.
