This is the last of three daily meetings following VRM Day 2022b, the second of the two in-person gatherings that ProjectVRM holds each year, always the day before the Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) commences for the next three days at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley. This time the workshop also included a talk and discussion led by Roger McNamee as part of the Beyond the Web Salon Series led by Doc and Joyce Searls, who (in addition to their work with ProjectVRM) are visiting scholars at the Ostrom Workshop, of Indiana University, which hosts the series. Roger's talk was carried live by Owl , RingCentral and Zoom to IU and the world. Roger's talk so energized attendees that a cabal, informally called Roger & We, was formed in the room and took more shape over the following days at IIW. Its purpose became branded ESC, for End Surveillance Capitalism.
ProjectVRM was born in 2006 as a project by Doc Searls when he became a fellow with the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard University. Its blog, wiki, and mailing list (of more than 500 members) remain kindly hosted by the BKC.
I recently visited the Computer History Museum with my friend Chuck Tomasi who I co-host our Podcast Technorama with. We shot a video while we were there for the show.

The Babbage Engine
"Charles Babbage (1791-1871), computer pioneer, designed the first automatic computing engines. He invented computers but failed to build them. The first complete Babbage Engine was completed in London in 2002, 153 years after it was designed. Difference Engine No. 2, built faithfully to the original drawings, consists of 8,000 parts, weighs five tons, and measures 11 feet long."

The Japanese edition comes with an extra outer sleeve covering the bottom of the cover with Japanese descriptions (and ruining the austerity of the cover... but fortunately you can take it away)
