An irregular, unpredictable, incoherent, unfocused set of mind-sparks that got me thinking. A quite eclectic harvest this time. From solid internet cultural insights to visual art experiments powered by AI. Handpicked, no robots. Minimalism in curation. Enjoy!

• People, institutions, and possibilities of all kinds can be trapped inside enclosures on the Internet. Doc Searls describes nine of them and much more. At the level of quality and insights of The Cluetrain Manifesto. Highly recommended.
• About a new world order enabled by the DIGITAL Belt and Road Initiative. Fantastic series about the Chinese long term initiative.
• About Nova Spivack’s very unusual dream in which he saw many lifetimes of his future.
• About getting the technology right for augmented reality. By Mark Pesce
• Some very deep insights by Nicholas Carr about the consequences of content collapse. It feels like a new book is in the making.
