We are increasingly living in a centralized, totalitarian society where we end up atomized instead of empowered autonomous individuals. What's more the intellectual elite which has always produced alternative ideas is fruitless to define a new path ahead and unusually silent. The world-known philosophers of the 19th and 20th centuries are a distant memory with nothing truly new at the horizon that reflects technological progress and overall human development.
Cyber Autonomy is the fruit of a year of applied research and a couple of years of conceptualization. It summarizes the abstracts of autonomy across the pillars of our society - economics, politics and media and offers viable alternatives to the status quo. At its core it focuses on the autonomy of the individual as a stepping stone for a vital global community. The goal is to bring back autonomy to the forefront of discussions and to attract the attention of the academic circles.

What does "autonomy" mean? What, outside of a student bar, is "liquid democracy"? The 'moneyless' concept implies no trade, and thus no specialisation or efficiency. You make you own shoes and grow you own wheat in order to bake you own bread. That is worse than nonsense: it is barbarism. The whole essence, the core, of the human endeavour, is specialisation and exchange, collective institutions to manage security and keep shit out of the water supply.
