The Nine Dots Prize – Are digital technologies making politics impossible?

Submission Statement

I found this on r/books. It seems to have been announced a couple of days ago. I wanted to find out what HNers think about the question and the competition, but for some reason nobody seems to have submitted it yet.

The question sounds odd at first -- one could easily say "No wai!" and that would be the end of it -- but surely there are more interesting things to say about it if we don't take it as a strictly binary question.
