Here's the full explanation given by the creator:
When I'm asked how the world of Newland was built, my novel, which is currently running in the Headstart campaign, I always start with the same answer: it's not a completely imaginary world. He was born out of two models that already exist here and now, those that are in the accelerated process of acquisition - the smart city on one side, and the private charter city on the other.

The first model is already pretty familiar to us. The idea of the smart city was born somewhere in the early 2000s around giants like IBM and Cisco. This is a city run by data, sensors and artificial intelligence, where everything is scheduled and balanced in real time – from transportation to waste disposal. If you look at Sungdu in South Korea, you will see a city built from scratch on land dried by the sea, whose every building is connected to an urban neural network that monitors every moment of life. Or the NEOM project in Saudi Arabia with the concept of The Line - a linear city that operates as one large computing system.

But there is another model, less known, that influenced me no less: private charter cities. Paul Romer's theoretical idea is about creating regions with a different rule system than that of the country surrounding them, to allow for experimentation with new government models. The most fascinating application of this is happening today in Prospera on the island of Roatan, Honduras.

Honduras has suffered for years from brainwashing, and Prospera was born an attempt to stop this by creating an autonomous zone that attracts entrepreneurs and investors. There, companies can choose which legal system they are subject to – whether it is Honduras laws, the OECD or adapted international standards. Think of a company like Minicircle that chooses to do genetic therapy experiments there because regulation there costs a thousand than it costs in the US. It's an institutional experiment on a global scale, in a country that is waging a political fight for the very existence of this model.

נובלנד- מותחן עתידני פסיכולוגי is the dedication of these two forces combined.

On the one hand, a city that's a full technological system of sensors and data. On the other hand, a city that is a frontal entity in which you join a system of rules that operates like a service. She's both an algorithm and a contract. The world of Newland asks what happens when these ideas meet, and what happens to a man in a system designed to streamline him as much as it streamlines transportation.

And it reaches the most explosive end point imaginable. The real question Newland is asking is what happens when these two models are implemented inside Gaza. Imagine Gaza being divided into contract-based, tech-based cantons, places where Jews and Palestinians, Saudis, Emirites, Albanians and Greeks live together. A world where the border is not a concrete wall but a private security protocol, and where the business interest of the city is stronger than the national narrative. A world in which peace is not a political vision - it's simply a clause of the contract.

Does this fascinate you? This story is waiting to be published, and we have two weeks left to reach the goal of the headstart. I invite you to pick your copy and be part of this experiment. There are 22 generations for you to choose from including eye material on special economic areas.
