Café Américain: The Kings Are Dead

Very proud to have an essay in the launch edition of Café Américain, the new free speech and free thought publication that positions itself against the attempt to close down open political discourse. The essay is sardonically entitled “The Kings Are Dead, Long Live Google Rex!”. Here’s an extract:

If nobody is touting the Divine Right of Tech Companies, neither is anybody in a position to propose cutting off Google’s head in order to set matters right. It is hard to avoid accepting that whatever limited power royalty might still possess today is dwarfed in both scope and scale by the informational kingdom of Google Rex.

You can read the whole thing over at Café Américain.

Apologies for anyone who got this from Stranger Worlds as well as from Only a Game.
