-Digital technology threatens to tear our free and open societies apart through polarization, inequality, loneliness and fear. But on a delicate, diverse and politically divided East Asian island things are different. In the decade since the weekslong occupation of Taiwan’s parliament, this island of resilience achieved inclusive, technology-fueled growth, overcame the pandemic without lockdowns and the infodemic without takedowns, as well as entrusted the people to tackle shared challenges like environmental protection while capitalizing on a culture of innovation to “hack the government.” In this book, Digital Minister Audrey Tang and her collaborators – architects of Taiwan’s internationally acclaimed digital democracy – share the secret of their success. Plurality harnesses digital tools not to replace humans or trust, but to harness the same potential energy in social diversity that can erupt in conflict instead for progress, growth and beauty. From intimate digitally empowered telepathy to global trade running on social networks rather than money, Plurality offers tools to radically enrich relationships while making sure we leave no one behind. Plurality thus promises to transform every sector from health care to media, as illustrated by the way it has been written: as a chorus of open, self-governing collaboration of voices from around the globe. Their work in public on this openly available text shows  — as well as tells — how everyone from a devout African farmer to a Hollywood celebrity can help build a more dynamic, harmonious and inclusive world.

-數位科技正在透過兩極化、不平等、孤獨和恐懼，撕裂我們社會的自由與開放。然而，在一座細緻、多元且政治分歧的東亞島嶼上，情況卻有所不同。
+數位科技正在透過兩極化、不平等、孤獨和恐懼，撕裂我們自由與開放的社會。然而，在一座細緻、多元且政治分歧的東亞島嶼上，情況卻有所不同。
 
 在佔領臺灣國會數週之後的十年間，這個充滿韌性的島嶼實現了包容、技術驅動的成長，在沒有封城的情況下克服了疫情，在沒有下架的情況下克服了爭議訊息，並且信任人民來應對共同的挑戰，如環境保護，同時利用創新文化來「黑客」政府。
 
 在這本書中，數位部長唐鳳及其共同作者──臺灣享譽國際的數位民主開創者──分享了成功的方程式。⿻數位技術，不是為了取代人類或信任，而是運用社會多樣性中蘊藏的潛在能量。這種能量可能爆發衝突，但也能用於推動進步、成長與美好。
 
 從親密的數位賦權心靈感應，到建立在社交網絡而非金錢之上的全球貿易，《多元宇宙》提供了工具，從根本豐富關係，同時確保我們不會落下任何人，因此有望改變從醫療到媒體的每個領域。
 
-正如本書的寫作方式所示：來自全球各地傳來的自由之聲，交織成一首自治協作的合唱。作者群在這篇公開可用的文本上的共同努力，做到了──也說到了──從虔誠的非洲農民到好萊塢巨星，人人都能為建立更有活力、和諧、包容的世界，貢獻一己之力。
