Down in Texas there’s a place called Proto-Town that is a newly established community built along the lines of a business incubator. It’s a bit stranger than that though. The people who set out to do this want to create a new society. Instead of a “back to the land” movement, they’re a “back to hardware” movement. https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/the-texas-town-backed-by-ivanka-trump-s-billionaire-brother-in-law-at-the-frontier-of-tech-elite/ar-AA21H5Gc?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds #tech #society

In the WSJ it’s described in a way that sounds almost like a religious farm community, but the belief system is startup culture: “[Proto-Town] serves as a business commune for young tech founders and other entrepreneurs who all live and work there. Founders and employees live together in the house or nearby trailer parks they call man camps. Workers at the dozen firms on site often eat meals as a group. Many work on their startups from morning to night.”
