In futurology, cyberocracy describes a hypothetical form of government that rules by the effective use of information.
[6] The concept involves information and its control as the source of power and is viewed as the next stage of the political evolution.
Cyberocracy is the functional antithesis of traditional bureaucracies which sometimes notoriously suffer from fiefdom, slowness, and a list of other unfortunate qualities.
[7] In addition, bureaucracy deploys brittle practices such as programs and budgets whereas cyberocracy is more adaptive with its focus on management and cultural contexts.
[9] While the outcome or the results of cyberocracy is still challenging to identify, there are those who cite that it will lead to new forms of governmental and political systems, particularly amid the emergence of new sensory apparatuses, networked society, and modes of networked governance.
