# Sensocracy A social and/or political system built around a technology of sensors that collect and compile data from all information flows and that therefore with great accuracy can predict what every citizen at every moment requests and yearns for, something that previously has been impossible because of the extensive lying at all levels. In a sensocracy coercive measures in practice become superfluous: a devastating majority of society's citizens settle for having their needs of consumption and entertainment effectively satisfied. The others lack all influence and are referred to an existence outside the system. The sensocrats thereby become the second and imaginary power structure during the informationalist paradigm, between *the informationalists* themselves and *the protopians*.
