Laura Abioli
Operator in the network-state and frontier-community space. Associated with the Infinita ecosystem, working at the intersection of longevity, jurisdiction design, and the practical logistics of new cities. Profile being expanded as her work surfaces.
Exit, Voice, and Loyalty — Albert Hirschman
Hirschman's classic on the three things you can do when an organisation, a firm, or a state is declining — leave, complain, or stay loyal — and how each strategy interacts with the others. The intellectual scaffolding underneath the entire network-state thesis.
Albion's Seed — David Hackett Fischer
Fischer's 900-page argument that four distinct British folkways — Puritan, Cavalier, Quaker, Scotch-Irish — set the cultural DNA of four American regions, and that those patterns still run the country. Required reading for anyone serious about new cultures: you have to know what came before to build what comes next.
Infinita
Network-state initiative focused on longevity, biotech, and jurisdictional experimentation. Builds infrastructure for accelerated research and frontier community life — the practical scaffolding underneath the idea that a city can be a startup. Operates in the orbit of the broader charter-city / network-state movement.
Próspera
Charter city operating as a special economic zone on Roatán, Honduras. Built around the ZEDE legal framework — businesses choose their own regulatory regime within a common-law base, with the explicit goal of attracting longevity research, frontier biotech, and high-trust commercial activity that struggles to flourish in conventional jurisdictions. Operates in close conversation with the Infinita longevity network-state thesis.
Network School
Balaji Srinivasan's pop-up city-as-curriculum — a months-long residency in Forest City, Malaysia where founders, writers, and operators live together while learning by building. Education as participation in a network state, not enrolment in an institution.
