Abstract
This essay is part of a special issue celebrating 50 years of Political Theory. The
ambition of the editors was to mark this half century not with a retrospective
but with a confabulation of futures. Contributors were asked: What will
political theory look and sound like in the next century and beyond? What
claims might political theorists or their descendants be making in ten, twenty-
five, fifty, a hundred years’ time? How might they vindicate those claims in
their future contexts? How will the consistent concerns of political theorists
evolve into the questions critical for people decades or centuries from
now? What new problems will engage the political theorists (or their rough
equivalents) of the future? What forms might those take? What follows is
one of the many confabulations published in response to these queries.

To the Book Review Editor:
I offer my services as a book reviewer for Jeff S. Wright’s groundbreaking
Brotherhood is Powerful: A Ruthless Critique of White Cis Hetero Patriarchy
(Princeton, 2036). This book is a game changer for democratic theory, an area
in which I have been a leading contributor for three decades, most notably
with my seminal Negging Democracy: Intelligent Machines Against the
People’s Network® (Harvard, 2025), the book that founded the field of
techno-democratic theory.
You will recall Wright’s astounding performance in his 2034 Foundations
plenary at APSA: “Where’s The Beef? Theorizing the Patriarchal Absence at
