## What Jamie wrote

I follow Bremmer's newsletter on global politics and I think he has some interesting perspectives. This TED talk highlights the role that technology platforms/companies may have as the next superpowers. Bremmer isn't talking about this like Network States driven by people, but instead dominant platforms that control communication. It is interesting to me to extend both of these technology visions out and see how they differentiate.
