They are so off the mark its crazy, the future of this is streaming games services. Yea it’ll be running on windows or linux at the other end and that isn’t what Apple wants but its the future.
I also think that bolo’bolo should be more widely read. It’s really well written and really thinks through how an alternative society could work, it often feels like an Ursula Le Guin book to me. It’s critique of both capitalism and state communism as the Work Machine is pretty great.
I think its spot on about the size of community that’s best for humans (a few hundred), and I like that each bolo is based around some guiding principles, I often think that’s important for a community to stick together.
It’s obviously not perfect or an exact blueprint but its great food for thought and I wish other plans for alternate societies were worked out in engaging detail like bolo’bolo
I really think the book Always Coming Home by Ursula Le Guin is very good on this subject, they have a sort of metaphorical religion created themselves, with many of the good community building aspects on religion.
I personally think there is much good to learn from the ways of Buddhism and Daoism, both their core ideas and some of the practice.
