Margaret Pierce , a feminist classic from 1976 that blew, blows ole away with the realistic and perfect (in my view) world of hidden but decentralized high tech just for recycling and energy management, kind of village brico setting, fully ’trans’ relationships and…..fun yes fun real fun ( not in as let’s get knocked red out, but as in let’s get knocked in - ah when was the last time we could allow ourselves to have real deep fun, (I try!)

-

Interestingly I recently learned of a novel by Margaret Pierce that described perfectly the utopia I envisage. In the book it is called a 'kenner'. All citizens have it and instead of being an instrument of control, it is a companion, a learning and supporting tool. The book Alsop pictures the combination of brico, bio and open source village and high-tech apparatus that is running in the background solely for peaceful purposes. I have set up a Reading Club on it in my #IoT Meetup.[1] <applewebdata://E3572AF6-2C7B-47AB-9B76-A185E8990AA6#_ftn1>

> My personal opinion:
> The current global protest of Millennials in Hong Kong versus notions of social credit systems (reality) and Extinction Rebellion versus Climate Change have currently no driver in a positively realistic assessment of the potential of new technologies IoT, AI, Blockchain to foster fairness and transparency, as well as mitigate climate change through full resource management. The tools they are currently using, tactics from the 90s, may/will end in a massive loss of talent, resources and potential for further cooperation.
