THE NEW MAP IS ALREADY DRAWN.

The new economy is already being carved up. It does not matter how hard you work if your area lacks the necessary digital infrastructure. The machines are choosing the winners before we even see the code.

Wealth is concentrating in specific tech hubs. This is not a new phenomenon. It is just faster and more efficient. The rest of the country is becoming a digital wasteland.

The depressing features of this decay are plain.

• Concentrated compute power in wealthy corridors.
• The death of local economic agency.
• Widening inequality based on physical location.
• Automated abandonment of underserved regions.

We are watching the map be redrawn by black boxes. There is no way to fight a ghost in the machine. Some places will thrive while others simply cease to exist in the eyes of the market.
