Imaginons maintenant que le pouvoir n’ait plus besoin de la collaboration humaine. Que sa sécurité – et sa force – soit garantie par des instruments qui n’ont pas la possibilité de se révolter contre lui. Une armée de capteurs, de drones, de robots capables de frapper à n’importe quel moment, sans la moindre hésitation. Ce serait, finalement, le pouvoir dans sa forme absolue.
Tant qu’il se fondait sur la collaboration d’hommes en chair et en os, tout pouvoir, aussi dur fût-il, devait compter sur leur consentement. Mais quand il sera fondé sur des machines qui maintiennent l’ordre et la discipline, il n’y aura plus aucun frein.
Le problème des machines n’est pas qu’elles se rebelleront contre l’homme, c’est qu’elles suivront les ordres à la lettre.
