Exploring Autocracy and Survival: Lessons from Mars
This chapter examines the contrasting uses of technology in autocratic versus open societies and the implications for global preparedness against existential threats. It discusses imaginative scenarios for creating self-sufficient communities, such as a Martian colony, while addressing the challenges of resource limitations and social structures that may emerge in extreme environments.
