My latest book didn't have any main characters. Are we talking about the same book? -NDTyson

Neil deGrasse Tyson:
Science contains so many fields, and each field contains different subjects. How many basic/most common scientific fields are there. Ex: Biology for organic life, geology for natural science, math (lol) For every scientific field, they all have properties or characteristics that define them. Then, in order to develop, they need theories. What are some of your favorite OOTW scientific thesis's/developments?

My book "Quantum Algocracy" is about social polarization. It deals with the DMA syndrome (Dualism, Manichaeism, Armageddon) theorized by the Carter center and imagines a social civilization without humans in power. Do you think that a society governed by quantum algorithms of different processors that audit each other will be able to do better than us? Like a self-driving car.
