Starbase. Prospera. California Forever. Mars. From private cities to interstellar colonies, tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel have backed experiments designed to operate beyond the borders — and laws — most of us live by. So we wondered: has this happened before? In this episode, we visit an Arctic archipelago, homesteads floating in the ocean, and a startup city in Honduras to explore where places built with the ultra-rich in mind leave all the rest of us.
Guests:
Atossa Araxia Abrahamian, author of The Cosmopolites and The Hidden Globe: How Wealth Hacks the World
Wayne Gramlich, retired computer engineer
Dan Girma, producer on NPR's Embedded podcast
Jacob Silverman, author of Gilded Rage: Elon Musk and the Radicalization of Silicon Valley
