How to Opt-Out of the Technocratic State

Derrick Broze's "How to Opt-Out of the Technocratic State" is a second edition work, building upon the ideas of Samuel E. Konkin III, to guide individuals in resisting a perceived global technocratic system. The book advocates for counter-economics and agorism, which involve voluntary, often unsanctioned, economic activities and the creation of parallel, decentralized networks to achieve greater personal liberty and privacy. Broze emphasizes the threat of pervasive digital surveillance and government control, particularly referencing "COVID-1984" and "The Great Reset" as recent manifestations of this technocracy. The text also includes Konkin's unfinished work, "Counter-Economics: From the Back Alleys to the Stars," which further details the theory and historical examples of counter-economic actions, such as black and gray markets, as a spontaneous, unstoppable force against state control across various sectors like drugs, money, and labor.
