In a Soho Loft, Tech Bros Plot an Autonomous City

    “Bluebook Cities’ first project is Praxis, which defines itself as “a grassroots movement of modern pioneers building a new city.” More plainly put, the society aims to create a community of members who will live in an autonomous charter-state built on a decentralized crypto economy “somewhere in the Mediterranean,” as Brown often repeats. The foundation of Praxis’s city will be a shared set of spiritual principles: physical health, an appreciation of beauty, and, principally, ‘the intangible pull of the frontier.’”
