We arranged utopian philosophies on a three-dimensional decision cube, where the emphasis goes from central planning to commerce, small communities to global cooperation, and from nature to high-tech and space-faring.

Each of these have their own challenges. Will you be able to guarantee personal autonomy, equity and resilience in the face of these unique obstacles?

Let’s build our perfect future together.

“Try to look at what the world was like a hundred years ago, and try to imagine what you want the world to look like in a hundred years. What do you want it to look like? What do you think is right for people in a hundred years? How do you hope people that you will never meet will live?”

“Every law is illegal, every government upon the face of this Earth today is illegal.”

- No Neutral Ground in a Burning World, Quinn Norton and Eleanor Saitta, 30C3

“You don't have to start the culture with anything. It just naturally turns into sauerkraut every single time, there's one particular species of bacteria that eats the cabbage and releases lactic acid eventually killing off everything around it until there's only one species left. And every single time you put this recipe together, you always end up with sauerkraut.”

“When an ant who has her crop well filled with honey meets other ants with empty stomachs, the latter immediately ask her for food. And among these little insects it is the duty of the satisfied ant to disgorge the honey that her hungry friends may also be satisfied. Ask the ants if it would be right to refuse food to other ants of the same anthill when one has had one’s share. They will answer, by actions impossible to mistake, that it would be extremely wrong. So selfish an ant would be more harshly treated than enemies of another species. If such a thing happens during a battle between two different species, the ants would stop fighting to fall upon their selfish comrade. This fact has been proved by experiments which exclude all doubt.”
- Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution, Peter Kropotkin, 1902

“Those are the same stars, and this is the same moon, that look upon your brothers and sisters, and which they see as they look up to them, though they are ever so far away from us, and each other.”
- Sojourner Truth, 1850

“The hacker mindset is – I’ve said this before – is a post-apocalyptically appropriate way of thinking. Wouldn’t you run to your hackerspace, if things really went wrong? If the world went down in chaos, I would really want it to happen somewhere at the end of December, because you all would be the people I would want to be around.”
- Ten Years After “We Lost the War”, Rop Gonggrijp and Frank Reiger, 32C2
