@robgalanakis@ZaneSelvans it’s definitely one of those books that changes how you see vassssst numbers of problems. I still need to write my “seeing cybersecurity like a state” blog post…
In the intro he talks about this book being a detour from another book he was trying to write, and I was like "That other book sounds really familiar." and it turned out I've had it in my library for years but haven't gotten around to reading it: "The art of not being governed." about ungovernable hill people in SE Asia.
tldr: the book is about SE Asia’s history and people doing the “exit” part of “exit, voice, loyalty” at a socially-impactful level. But they’re pretty rare in the modern world.
I do think there is something really interesting to be written comparing this history with open source software’s exit and eventual recapture, but 🗓️⌚️
