“To me, the dissolution of the modern nation-state into smaller, more anarchic, less centralised units would be welcome. Perhaps then we could rediscover the roots of our old nations, and begin to rebuild them again. Perhaps too, new nations will form, built around a spiritual core and a love of place, which will give to their people the kind of meaning which the nation-states of the Machine era have so successfully imitated whilst at the same time destroying. Perhaps we will live in real nations again. Perhaps we will build them. Nobody else can.” —
