New technology fit for a new era

In 2022, just as London's leafy parks were turning an autumnal orange, a sparky young chap named Harry met an accomplished artist/technologist under the pseudonym Goblin Oats. They formed a strong bond over a shared ambition to weave a new arc into the history of technology - an arc more humane, creative and ambitious than those produced by Silicon Valley thus far.

After a short while, Goblin and I realised we wanted to build a new internet together - one that shifts power from platforms to people, and that amplifies the creative spirit in all of us.
