    I read the "Network State in One Sentence" page. Is there a real world example of this or is this just fantasy? The only thing I can think of is drug cartels.

    > "The publisher of this work is 1729. It’s named after the Ramanujan number, which symbolizes for us the dark talent: all those people from the middle of nowhere, passed over by the establishment, with crazy-but-correct ideas, who could do great things if only given the opportunity. These are exactly the kinds of people who we expect will found startup societies and network states."
