The Rewilding: A Metaphor
summary
A future scenario claims daily life runs on autonomous software agents that act for users without explicit commands, doing finance, social filtering and home repairs via local home fab unit networks tested with an Open Cola-style aggregator; ecosystems get quantified as billable ecosystem services (wetlands supply water, bears and whale pods have blogs and advocates); the overarching metaphor is unconscious computing and “rewilding,” where relinquishing top-down control and using distributed, evolutionary simulation replaces some market transactions and infrastructure.
