Autarky Lab A place to develop and learn about autarky solutions: technologies, organization techniques and best practices that enable self-sufficient living on the long term. Here, autarky is comprehensive self-supply and self-governance in small social units. It’s the maker’s way of making a living, a solution for political problems with non-political means. It’s how we fix precarious living, excessive consumption, bullshit jobs and politics alike. Solutions documented here are esp. relevant for... Sci-Fi Economics Economists, politicians and business leaders, it seems, have given up on trying to imagine completely different economic systems. But we have not. And neither has a small group of brainy, visionary science fiction authors: Cory Doctorow (peer production and abundance in Walkaway), Bruce Sterling (nomads + cheap open source technology + reputation servers in Distraction), Neal Stephenson (phyla in The Diamond Age), Peter Watts (tons of insights from biology in the Rifters trilogy), and others.... The Reef This is the space of the Reef project. Use it for anything related to it. We are keeping it as a public space, open on the web. Remember not to post anything that you are not comfortable with being public information. Worldbuilding Academy Witnesspedia This category is the workspace of the Worldbuilding Academy, an effort to build an open source fictional world, to serve as the backdrop for science fiction/fantasy novels, films, or games.

We imagine it as a sort of Wikipedia, but for the fictional city of Witness. It contains “Witnesspedia articles” about... Climate Work For everyone: Post here stories of climate change prevention / adaptation, ecosystem restoration etc… This would be also the place for low-impact living, mobility and infrastructure: airships, houseboats, and so on. Tell us about yourself and your work and ideas, and let’s see what we can do together. For Edgeryders: This is also the public space for the climate change related projects in our company, including: Climate Positive. EIT Climate-KIC started a project called Climate Positive, in...
