It’s many communities with different charters, built on shared, open infrastructure. Members should be able to choose a client, see its rules, disagree with leaders and leave without losing their account or social graph. A network where only one app has meaningful reach is technically open but hard to exit. Portability must work in practice, not just in a diagram. Hard questions remain. Who can amend the code? Is moderation consistent? Can unpopular opinions survive without abuse? Do other clients have fair access? Can founders share power as the community grows? Those aren’t reasons to dismiss the experiment. They’re how we should judge it. If Network School succeeds, Farcaster could show how open protocols support distinct, functioning societies. If it fails, the lesson may be that written rules aren’t enough. Civilisation depends on how power is exercised.

The Network State
Technology has enabled us to start new companies, new communities, and new currencies. But can we use it to start new cities, or even new countries? This book explains how to build the successor to the nation state, a concept we call the network state.

We are told that technology is on the brink of ruining everything. But we are being lied to, and the truth is so much better. Marc Andreessen presents his techno-optimist vision for the future.
