Governments are facing a rapidly changing policy environment in the 21st century like Resource Scarcity, Rising Inequality, Digitalization, Atomisation of Work. The future holds a world which will be hyper-connected and this change is supplemented by decreasing size and increasing functionality of technologies from mainframe computers towards Smart Dust.

The recent phase of digitalization has joined bits and atoms and made new things consumable like other people's cars, urban space and homes etc. This atomisation will force us to redefine work, population and policy.
