My posts this week are not politically
motivated: today, a technocracy is still considered a science fiction
term for a type of government based on technology. I am discussing
technocracy because it is the fictional form of government that the
Solar Echoes aliens, the Erwani, are using, and as I have read more
about this fictional form of government, I began to wonder if we may
already have a technocracy forming here in America. A technocracy is
a government where the decision-making officials are those that are
members of a powerful technical elite. Technical experts would make
decisions instead of elected representatives, and these experts or
professionals would perform individual government functions and
design the laws. A technocracy shares similarities with a
meritocracy, which is a form of government where the most capable and
skilled people are in charge. Is it possible, then, that with the
technological developments we see happening today, we may someday
become a technocracy? Why would we ever allow ourselves to be
governed by technical experts instead of by elected officials? The
answer might not be science fiction...
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
