This website is for developing ideas and practical solutions to help bring forward a true post-scarcity age.

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 help distill my thoughts and give it 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.
