In this essay, Jeff Vail makes the case that with the coming global economic collapse, we now have a "One-Time Shot" to develop a rhizome-based means of communication that is not dependent on the soon-to-be-decaying corpse of hierarchy. Though he doesn't yet have much in the way of specific ideas on how this can be achieved, his stated intent in writing the essay is to get the ball rolling so a discussion can ensue.
