Zuzone Hub - Network States vs Coordinated Futures

The future of where and how we live is up for grabs. One vision, the network state, starts as an online community with shared values, then gathers in physical places and seeks recognition. Another imagines decentralised, coordinated states: existing cities and communities using new tools to govern themselves, share resources and cooperate across borders. Which future is better, and for whom?
Instead of a lecture, you’ll vote your way through founding the “Beanbag Republic” in three rounds: membership, land and conflict. After each vote, we'll show how real experiments like pop-up cities and charter zones handled the same choice. We finish with an open AMA and show you how to keep building your own state all week—no prior knowledge needed.
