MARS - Machine learning, Automation, Robotics, and Space exploration is Jeff Bezos brainchild to envision the 'Golden Age' and only a selected few are invited to attend. This is a gathering of global Technocrats, whose collective influence are far beyond observation and into causation. They can make things happen whether society wants it or not.

The author of this story recognizes the obvious descent into tyranny, but not that the tyranny itself is Technocracy, aka Sustainable Development.  Jinping, Putin, Erdogan and other dictators are head-over-heels in support of Sustainable Development. China is most clearly a Technocracy. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected President in 1933, one year after Technocracy was founded at Columbia University, early Technocrats called for him to declare himself dictator in order to implement Technocracy. This is the best way to kick-start Technocracy because a dictator has no pesky resistance to get in his way, as in China, Russia or Turkey.
