This book introduces the concept of the network state: a country you can start from your computer， a state that recruits like a startup， a nation built from the internet rather than disrupted by it。

The fundamental concept behind the network state is to assemble a digital community and organize it to crowdfund physical territory。 But that territory is not in one place — it’s spread around the world， fully decentralized， hooked together by the internet for a common cause， much like Google’s offices or Bitcoin’s miners。 And because every citizen has opted in， it’s a model for 100% democracy rather than the minimum threshold of consent modeled by 51% democracies。

Of course， there are countless questions that need to be answered to build something of this scope。 How does a network state work socially， technically， logistically， legally， physically， financially？ How could such a thing even be viable？

That’s why you should read this book。
