I'm so thrilled to be published in @edgeeffectsmag.bsky.social! This is my first academic publication, and I'm extremely proud of it!
Today on Edge Effects, @poisoniv3y.bsky.social draws parallels between contemporary libertarian visions and oceanic colonialism of the 19th century. Seasteading may seem like futuristic science fiction, but Robert Stevenson's The Ebb-Tide offers grave warnings about how this old idea plays out. 🛳️🏖️
Is Seasteading Another Word for Colonialism?
Libertarian's interest in seasteading parallels nineteenth century oceanic colonialism, as represented by Robert Stevenson’s The Ebb-Tide.
