The basis for this vision of the next phase of civilisation has been knocking around in my head since 2000/'01 and I thought it was time I wrote it down semi-coherently to distill my thoughts, help give the concepts wider exposure, and to link to others who are working on ideas in a similar space.

A wiki seemed an obvious choice as it is an easy way to evolve a website, and if at some point I get a critical mass of information on it and the vision strikes a chord then other people can easily come and join me to help make this a significant resource on the subject, as an open project.

What AdCiv.org is and isn't

AdCiv is not intended as a general wiki on the topic of post-scarcity, nor is it to be an inclusive directory of any/every organisation that claims to be related to post-scarcity in some way - however we are of course be happy to link to those that are particularly relevant.

AdCiv is a particular exploration of what is possible when combining the topics shown in the site map - and the related issues that stem from them.

The principles and vision here are based on known and emerging science and technology, and the ever evolving machinations of the free and open-source movement.
