The new power elite and life after capitalism by
Alexander Bard and Jan Söderqvist : “The netocracy, say pundits Alexander Bard and Jan Söderqvist, will be the new
power elite, controlling networks – both social and digital – and displacing
the bourgeoisie as the ruling class. Its members will understand that
equilibria and static positions are boring and artificial approximations, and
dynamic fluxes are neither. And that interesting logical structures are not
tree-like hierarchies, but are interconnected in potentially very complicated
ways – what Deleuze called the “rhizome” – just as Web pages, genes and
friendship networks are.” New Scientist
