This is an invitation to consider possible ways forward in the debate around data while asking questions. How could this work? Do we even want this? Can a technological socialism exist? Can we escape this uniquely Californian brand of violence? Would this even lead to a positive outcome that disrupts established hierarchies? Or would each individual, each node, or the cooperative become another profit-seeking agent caught in the cycle of a market economy to its own detriment? Are we even able to contemplate a utopia or a preferred world, or are we condemned to dystopia and critique?
