Description:Given all of the things that are virtual or at least partially virtual, it is a short step to ask whether things like states can be virtual too. The answer is that of course they can. Not only can they be virtual, but they already are. You don’t want to confuse the United States government with buildings in Washington DC, or with military hardware, or with the politicians and leaders of the government. These are all important agents in the conduct of governmental activities, but the government itself is a virtual entity that is layered on top of the buildings and hardware and politicians.City-states, empires, and nation states are already virtual, so is there any reason why there couldn’t be governments or states that exist mostly or entirely online? I think that not only can there be such states, but that they exist now in the form of virtual worlds and that people are already moving into worlds where these virtual states are taking form. Even stronger, I think that soon many people will find that their business lives, love lives, social lives, artistic lives, and political lives will be moving online, and the structure and constitution of these virtual states will be crucial.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
