Abstract

This story is inspired by the growing feasibility of Decentralised AutonomousCorporations (DACs), operating by means of distributed blockchain technologies. The story isset in the near future where a decentralised corporation - powered by machine-learningalgorithms and fed on an unending stream of data - has entirely penetrated the fabric of society.Ultimately, however, it is the narcissism of humans - their insatiable need to be recognised insome way - that drives the exponential power of the corporation. Some of the themes thatemerge from the story are: 1) the production of social media content, 2) the dangers of corporatepersonhood, 3) the nature of human and non-human agency, 4) the nature of truth in thecontext of the information age, and 5) the potential impact of fully autonomous technologies.
