Accidental Megastructure
From DWeb Vancouver
In the context of collaborative activities here in DWebYVR, the Accidental Megastructure refers to the name of a Slack group focused on Cohousing & Coliving.
There is a Vancouver channel, and you can join the Slack using this link.
It also references a book, by Benjamin Bratton:
In The Stack: On Software and Sovereignty, Benjamin H. Bratton proposes that these different genres of computation—smart grids, cloud plaforms, mobile apps, smart cities, the Internet of Things, automation— can be seen not as so many species evolving on their own, but as forming a coherent whole: an accidental megastructure called The Stack that is both a computational apparatus and a new governing architecture. We are inside The Stack and it is inside of us.
