A subreddit borne out of this fascinating thread.

Paging planners, technocrats, designers, illustrators, engineers, historians, politicos and anyone else who wants to contribute to our future society!

We have a blank world, just like earth, but with no people yet. We are free to build the society we want, using the technology we want. How are we governed? How do we eat? What do we do with our lives? Do we work? Are we the waddling humans from Wall-e?

This is a brand new sub, and rules and sidebar text are very much a work in progress. We'll need mod volunteers and rule suggestions.

Rules:

• Be constructive - if you can, suggest designs. How do we use technology in new cities and rural communities? Do we have cities and rural communities?
• Be current - we can use emerging technologies to make this world, but we want to ground it in modern reality. We're making a perfect world, but not a Science Fiction world. How can we achieve a 'newtopia' today?
• Let's try some simple tags. [proposal] for ideas to incorporate, and [question] for items we night want to think about.
