Been reading a lot of Terry Pratchett and I have Deep Thoughts inspired by the character of Vetinari, the Patriarch of Ankh-Morpork. Warning: minor spoilers ahead. Ankh-Morpork is pointedly a sort of in-absentia monarchy. It is structured as a monarchy but doesn’t have a king.
That was terrible. Psychotic rambling and apophenia adding up to nothing. Century of Self was much better. There was a there there.

I haven't heard of Century but I'l check it out. I felt Hypernormalisation had a terrifically strong "there": ~70s, gov blinked in the face of modern complexity & ceded control to biz managers & backward-looking prediction models, doubled down on narrative-as-reality
