Not Your Old Man's Internet
This is the Metaweb:
Bold ideas
Public space
Cypherpunk protocols
The Metaweb is a vision for what comes after platforms—where your presence matters, your data’s yours, and your voice shapes the system.
A Band from the Future Layer
The Metaweb Punks are an Ordinal-native, meta-layer music collective inspired by the themes of the book. Their tracks—coded into Bitcoin—explore the sonic edges of post-platform identity, ambient resistance, and meta-culture.
From Vision to Protocol
The Metaweb book sparked a movement—now it’s becoming real.
The Meta-Layer Initiative is where the book’s ideas are being turned into protocols, working groups, tools, and communities.

"... The notion of a meta-environment above the webpage is directionally interesting. Overall, the book presents a creative argument that warrants further discussion and exploration."
—Vint Cerf, One of the Fathers of the Internet & co-founder of the People-Centered Internet
""... the book provides a solid response to the late Douglas Engelbart’s quest for the co-evolution of social and technological systems in the face of ever more complex and urgent global issues.”
—Jack Park, cofounder of Topic Quests
