About this audiobook
We live under plural authority with no exit. States, platforms, employers, regulators, and financial systems all claim power over you—simultaneously. You cannot leave your state without entering another. You cannot abandon platforms without losing your network. You cannot escape wage dependence without losing access to everything. Exit Theory exposes why: modern power depends on captivity, not consent. Drawing on political philosophy from Ibn Khaldun to Hannah Arendt, this audiobook argues that legitimate authority requires one thing modern systems forbid: the real ability to refuse. It sketches the Super-Tribe—voluntary political association, portable across borders, competitive for members. For those tired of being trapped in systems they never chose.
