The concept of a cyberstate, first introduced by early cypherpunk communities, is now receiving renewed attention due to recent advancements in blockchain technology. The authors define them as “Comunidades en liña”, “online communities”, que "Exercer funcións normalmente asociadas cos estados nacionais tradicionais". “carry out functions usually associated with traditional nation states”. They might provide security, assist with healthcare, sponsor arts and culture, or support business through negotiating trade agreements and encouraging business development. A diferenza dos estados nacionais, con todo, o libro explica que os ciberestados deben estar organizados en torno a valores compartidos e a adhesión voluntaria en lugar de “arbitrary political boundaries”. “arbitrary political boundaries”. Describíronos como "xeograficamente libres de carga" co territorio dun Estado cibernético definido por “its footprint in cyberspace”– “its footprint in cyberspace”– sen límite de alcance e escala”. sen límite de alcance e escala”. Ademais, e máis radicalmente, os ciberestados levarían a cabo todas as actividades de gobernanza usando a tecnoloxía blockchain, un rexistro compartido e dixital que grava permanentemente información a través dunha rede de ordenadores. "O goberno, xa sexa na forma de gobernos públicos ou outras formas de goberno humano, é absolutamente crítico para todos os aspectos da nosa vida. "O goberno, xa sexa na forma de gobernos públicos ou outras formas de goberno humano, é absolutamente crítico para todos os aspectos da nosa vida. the authors write in the book’s opening pages. However, for Hope and Ludlow, “crypto shines a bright light on activities that today take place behind curtains and in smoke-filled rooms with little to no accountability”, “crypto shines a bright light on activities that today take place behind curtains and in smoke-filled rooms with little to no accountability”, Proporcionar o “As ferramentas que fan a actividade do goberno transparente e inmutable e o noso negocio persoal persoal e privado”. “As ferramentas que fan a actividade do goberno transparente e inmutable e o noso negocio persoal persoal e privado”. Hope and Ludlow. "Adiós a Westphalia deixa claro que o estado-nación xa non é o mellor sistema de goberno para a sociedade dixital de hoxe. Máis importante que formular o problema é desenvolver un sistema de goberno social alternativo que sirva aos cidadáns, e esta é precisamente a principal forza do libro. “Farewell to Westphalia makes it crystal clear that the nation-state is no longer the best governance system for today's digital society. More important than formulating the problem is to develop an alternative societal governance system that serves citizens, and this is exactly the main strength of the book. It imagines a future society built on blockchain technology, creating what is desperately needed today: a human society.” – Bob de Wit, autor de Sociedade 4.0 e profesor emérito de Liderado Estratéxico na Universidade de Nyenrode. "É un manifesto convincente sobre o futuro da gobernanza. Unha crítica do estado-nación e unha mirada visionaria aos sistemas políticos baseados en blockchain. “It's a compelling manifesto on the future of governance. A critique of the nation-state and a visionary look into blockchain-based political systems. It's mind boggling how well-researched and multidisciplinary it is.” – Frederico Ast (Kleros Founder). A colaboración destas dúas voces fundamentais na teoría do estado posnacional está dedicada a Julian Assange e á memoria do pioneiro desenvolvedor e activista Hal Finney. Como tal, Adeus a Westfalia está inmersa na cultura cypherpunk e hacktivista, establecéndose como un texto esencial para o futuro de tales ideais. Require unha consideración seria de calquera interesado na intersección de tecnoloxía, política e liberdade humana. As governments worldwide grapple with declining public trust and the challenges of governing in an increasingly digital world, offers a timely and provocative roadmap for the future. Hope and Ludlow's vision of blockchain-powered communities and cyberstates goes further than theoretical speculation, marking out a blueprint for a future where communities seeking alternatives to traditional governance structures can build new networks that serve their needs.
