Interesting ideas. In a way seasteading has already started by creating arificial islands e.g. the miniature world in Dubai or the airport near Tokio.

Friedman's comparison between government and technology makes no sense. Institutions which have existed for a long time and more or less get the job done show that they work, not that they have become obsolete. Hans-Hermann Hoppe even argues that from his libertarian perspective, we might have made a mistake by abandoning monarchy, definitely an ancient form of government, in favor of the allegedly more "modern" form of democracy.
