Not to give away too much, but “Friday” is about a genetically enhanced woman living in a balkanized North America.

Bombard away! I may not get to any of this in the next 100 years, but I like having good reading lists. Thanks.

Not to bombard you with comments, but Robert Heinlein’s book “Friday” might be an interesting fiction novel on this topic.

I’m wandering my way through Toynbee at the moment, but not sure I can suggest anything specific on this topic.

For me the practical question is what happens when you have a private security force of 100,000 and one day you tell them the contract is over.
