Balaji Srinivasan is a serial tech entrepreneur and venture capitalist who believes that tech can do pretty much everything governments currently do, but better. His vision of a network state involves forming communities on the internet that acquire land and become physical countries with their own laws, existing alongside existing nation states and eventually replacing them altogether. These network states would allow people to choose their nationality and become citizens of the state of their choice. This article looks at the network state movement and how it plans to replace governments with companies.
