About the Book
From Delusion to Design: Crafting a Realistic Utopia is a bold exploration of how we might redefine our socioeconomic and political foundations to ensure that everyone’s basic needs are met—without abandoning practicality or technological feasibility. In a world where inequality and inefficiency are widespread, this book offers a framework for recognizing and reinforcing fundamental human rights such as food, water, healthcare, education, and environmental stewardship.
Building on a reimagined notion of “work” that acknowledges care-giving, studying, and other often-undervalued forms of contribution, the text proposes a new social contract rooted in distributed, privacy-centric technology. Through accessible explanations of “proof of personhood,” local-first offline capabilities, and quantum-secure blockchains, it demystifies the nuts and bolts of how such a system can function day-to-day.
Finally, From Delusion to Design outlines a practical roadmap—beginning with a single individual or family and gradually scaling up to entire communities, cities, and, eventually, the world. If you’ve ever wondered whether a kinder, more equitable future is possible, this book invites you to explore one concrete path toward getting there.
