Looking at the merits of this ... idea. Sure sounds dystopian to me. Just look at the Appendix for '1729'.
> "Crazy-but-correct ideas..."
Who says this is correct? The person writing the sentence?
"A network state is a social network with a moral innovation, a sense of national consciousness, a recognized founder..."
Whose morals? What national consciousness? A recognized founder? You mean a single monarch? These are all within the first part of that paragraph. Which means they have huge importance.
Here's how I read this:
"We don't like being just CEOs of companies, we want to own our own country too!"
