But Balaji's book isn't really a playbook for how a community could go from loose collection of individuals on discord to a mini city! If it was that, it would be a far more compelling read, instead the first 50% could be summed up as, "institutions bad, crypto will save us all, media is biased, America is just as bad as China, and India is rising." And the back half while more interesting basically rehashes similar examples over and over (keto community) without many tangible details on going from 0 to 1. Could have been far more interesting, talked about things like Sovereign Military order of Malta, Charter Cities, SEZ's, and other interim ways for a network state to come to be but instead was just repeated ramblings and definitions.
