Imagine a future where: A new generation of pioneers transform abandoned suburban malls into vibrant eco-villages where the town meetings are the best party around. Passionate solo-preneurs take a break from crushing it in the new gig economy to brainstorm the perfect virtual reality Burning Man Moon raver with the help of their personal smart agent.
