Read up on "singleton hypothesis" by philosopher Nick Bostrom. Basically, he predicts that human societies will eventually form a "singleton" - whether it's a single government or an AI that runs everything. The outcome could be good or bad depending on various factors. Bostrom argues that we've been trending towards higher levels of social organization throughout history and that technology, including mind-control tech, could play a role in creating a singleton.
