The old world of tech is dying and the new cannot be born
Summary
The essay argues that the traditional tech industry is entering a terminal phase as a technopoly reshapes policy, economics, and culture, while the old world struggles to adapt to a shifting global order. It revisits how power, regulation, and corporate control have directed software development, warnings about the collapse of US-led dominance, and the idea that genuine innovation will require new frameworks beyond the current paradigm.
