If certain designs for the future even partially occur, the tech #city-states run by oligarchs, there will always be another group. #Decentralized #AI can take the oxygen out of some billionaires bank accounts. Turn those planet destroyers into debt creators and they'll shut them down.

In order to get an even better understanding of the position and opportunities of cities as diplomatic actors in #emdiplomacy Gerber asks for more comparative research that not only focusses on one city but puts different case studies into perspective.

Ancient North American Cities and Why People Left Them
Augury IgnoredHistorians and anthropologists of Mastodon! I'm looking for some inspiration regarding city state politics and sociality for an upcoming TTRPG campaign. Any books or material on the subject (be it about Greek, Italian, SEA, anything really)? #worldbuilding #fantasy #scifi #history #anthropology #citystates
