The Dawn of Technocracy

Pasquale De Marco

Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

In a world on the brink of transformation, democracy falters under the weight of complex challenges. "The Dawn of Technocracy" presents a bold and provocative alternative: a system of government guided by knowledge, reason, and evidence-based decision-making.

As societies grapple with intricate issues like climate change, resource depletion, and artificial intelligence, the limitations of traditional democratic processes become increasingly apparent. Technocracy offers a solution, promising a government led by highly trained experts who are equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world.

Technocrats, selected for their specialized knowledge and proven competence, would be tasked with managing the affairs of state. Their decisions would be informed by rigorous analysis, scientific research, and a deep understanding of the complex systems that shape society. This approach would eliminate the biases and short-sightedness that often plague democratic politics, leading to more effective and sustainable outcomes.

Critics of technocracy raise concerns about the potential for elitism and the erosion of democratic values. However, proponents argue that the selection and oversight of technocrats would be subject to rigorous democratic processes, ensuring that they remain responsive to the needs and aspirations of the people.

"The Dawn of Technocracy" delves into the history, principles, and potential benefits of this alternative system of government. It examines real-world examples of technocratic governance, both successful and unsuccessful, and explores the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

This book is a clarion call for a new era of governance, one that embraces the power of knowledge and expertise to build a better future for all. It is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of democracy and the urgent need for transformative change.

24 hours in the airport. 24 hours to betray my husband. 
An avalanche blocked the roads. Our ski trip has taken a bizarre, nasty turn. 
It started on the plane. I sat in the middle of a college hockey team traveling for a photoshoot. The air was thick with their deep, vibrating voices. A musky scent flowed into my lungs… 
I did something disgusting. I hope nobody noticed. 
Now we’ve arrived, and we’re trapped at the airport. The hockey guys keep looking at me. One of them wants me to buy them dinner. 
We have to spend the night here with them. I’m all jittery. My mind is filled with strange, uncomfortable thoughts. 
I shouldn’t do this. I need to stay strong. I need to resist.

Apocalypse of Mark

Caleb Deassis

The Apocalypse of Mark is a Christian book written in the ancient style of apocalyptic literature designed to read like a short narrative book one would find in the Bible, like Job, Ruth, or Esther. Narrator John Mark presents a linear retelling of the Biblical meta-narrative, heavily quoting from and alluding to the Biblical text. Beginning prior to creation and ending in the "new heavens and earth" incorporating enigmatic Biblical passages, it demonstrates how they are indispensable to the overall redemption story. The text also offers the reader hope by exposing the Gospel of Jesus as the central focus of God's relational plan. The text is packed with theological teachings and shows how they are all interconnected. The author began the project by trying to solve the question, "Where do demons come from?" Bolstered by years of research, he presents his findings in a creative and engaging narrative style.
