Summary
What happens when a group of software engineers apply their analytic, modelling and refactoring skills to politics? You get South Sea Republic. The software industry is at the forefront of a world that is changing from scarcity to abundance. Whether government wants to or not, it too will be caught up in the abundance era. This book explores the interfaces between government and culture, politics and the people, economy and individuals, scarcity and abundance. Avocadia, Adam Burke, Cameron Riley and Siento weave a narrative which explores our existing modern issues and structures; offering not only insight, but progressive solutions. These are all founded upon the principles of freedom, liberty, equity and an Australian Republic.
