A living encyclopedia of post-scarcity civilization.
Concepts, pillars, and open questions of the transition to near-zero-marginal-cost energy, compute, atoms, and coordination.
The Age of Abundance names the civilizational threshold where essentials — energy, intelligence, material goods, and coordination — become effectively free at the margin. This wiki maps that transition: the technologies driving it, the social contracts it breaks, and the new ones it invites.
