what could the role of government and public services look like in the 21st Century and beyond?

Nour Sidawi asked this on twitter

I’m going to be doing some reading on what the role of government and public services could look like (in the 21st century and beyond). Particularly different ways of thinking about transformation, reimagination, and redesign. I welcome all and any suggestions! 🤓
