This document discusses how information goods have near-zero marginal costs which can lead to underutilization unless monopolized through patents or intellectual property. It also discusses how information technology allows for wages and work to become decoupled and for collaborative and social models to rise. The document argues this digital layer of reality is expanding and information machines can last forever and be socially upgraded at no cost, suggesting a transition path toward expanding collaboration, promoting near-zero costs, reducing necessary labor, and decoupling work from wages. It views capitalism as adapting poorly to information technology and sees these trends pointing toward a potential post-capitalist system.
