The Way to Liberty — Volume 2: AI & Technology
Volume 2 of The Way to Liberty moves the Libertalia thought experiment into AI, robotics and technologies that may alter human life. Luc Arden explores not just what machines might achieve, but how responsibility, freedom and safety might be preserved as their influence expands.
A READER’S GUIDE
Technology considered one question at a time
Forty-four thematic sections cover AI and robot rules, digital identity, cybersecurity, implants, mental autonomy, synthetic media, communication networks and the preservation of knowledge. The breadth is striking, but the approach remains deliberately concrete.
Numbered articles examine human responsibility for consequential decisions, AI black boxes, the presence of robots in shared spaces and the dangers of excessive concentration of technological power. Other chapters ask who controls connected implants and whether individuals may refuse them.
The book reaches into questions that societies may not yet have fully confronted. It is not a prediction or a binding legal code, but a fictional attempt to ask a difficult question in advance: does technical possibility necessarily mean social permission?
The numbered proposals of The Way to Liberty belong to the fictional world of Libertalia; they are not legislation in force.
