Techno Optimism

Before we hand you the blueprints for the future, we must first show you the building. The following three scenarios are extrapolations based on the "Industrial Intelligence Stack" and the economic physics described in this essay. They use the specific vocabulary we coin to describe the coming era, such as terms like The Muddle, RoCS, and Targeting Authorities. We will define these in detail in the chapters ahead. For now, do not worry about the definitions. Worry about the speed. We are dropping you directly into the deep end of the timeline to let you feel the texture of the acceleration. This is what it feels like when the exponential progress curve turns vertical.
