Description

Toby Shorin:

"Documenting 6 years of research on crypto, cultural economies, and internet subcultures.

This book is many things at once:

1. A memorial artifact, rendering all our essays beautifully a physical publication for the first time

2. A behind the scenes look at how we did it, with 4 mini essays from Toby, Sam, Laura, and Aaron about

• how OI evolved and worked, a beautiful introduction from the ever-wise @keikreutler,

• an interview on the state of independent research with @nayafia, and more

3. An archival dump of 6 never-published rough-cut essays from our super secret internal learning processes

4. A time machine through the shifting existential narratives of web3, and speculations on the future of network society.
