Governance & Law in the Era of Superintelligence

Why Democracy Will End Us — and What Comes Next

Releasing September 1, 2026

Democracy’s central promise — government by the people — has already been tested, and the data is damning: across 1,779 policy decisions, the preferences of average citizens had near-zero influence on what became law. From that verdict, through Ibn Khaldun’s laws of why civilizations collapse, this book argues that no governance system on Earth is prepared for superintelligence — and lays out the architecture of what must be built before the window closes.

Release and ordering information will be announced by 11 O’Clock Press.
