520 8 _aA comprehensive political and design theory of planetary-scale computation proposing that The Stack -- an accidental megastructure -- is both a technological apparatus and a model for a new geopolitical architecture.
_bWhat has planetary-scale computation done to our geopolitical realities? Benjamin Bratton proposes that smart grids, cloud computing, mobile software and smart cities, universal addressing systems, ubiquitous computing, and other types of apparently unrelated planetary-scale computation can be viewed as forming a coherent whole - an accidental megastructure that is both a computational apparatus and a new geopolitical architecture.
