But what interests me is the sort of anarchy that might prevail in a  
stateless world.  I'd say the same applies to OBA as well. Gravity's  
Rainbow displays the possibilities of the stateless realm of the  
"Zone", anarchists get to take center stage right in the middle of  
Against the Day, and in The Crying of Lot 49 anarchists devise  
interesting alternate communications systems with minimal attachment  
to the state. And so it goes.
