Yes, except that the implications are different.

You're right. It isn't anarcho-capitalist, yet it appears as though it's attempting to mimic right-wing anarchism in order to give it a false description, such as "corporations rule the world." It's doubtful that the author was attempting to make a statement against corporatism - usually when people write or direct anything

It's interesting to think about what would come after anarchy - once we have achieved a stateless society...what then? It's like you were saying in your post, or at least saying to the effect of it, it's doubtful that human beings, having achieved an anarcho-capitalist world, would simply go to lounging around comfortably without any real

I've heard of another guy named Vernor Vinge who does a lot of libertarian-oriented sci-fi as well - seems like libertarianism is very much alive in the SF realm, especially since the Prometheus Award is given to SF books deemed "most libertarian." This book may have been written in opposition to all

This seems to be a very mainstream book, and I haven't seen any posts on it. Came out it '03, and the general description of the world it tramples on is undoubtedly anarcho-capitalist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Government Seems like this guy Max Barry enjoys showing the "repurcussions" of what a libertarian society would
