I'm so fucking excited for this. I still can't believe something as good as Andor S1 got snuck into the Star Wars canon.

We're definitely gonna have people plugged to the machines 24/7 with no limit between human and machine. Ultimate cyborgs.

For some reason I imagine them as Dune's Spacing Guild.

Excited to announce our new company, Incention!

We believe the future of Hollywood with the highest upside is one where AI agents and human creators work side-by-side to shape a universe of content and that the next billion dollar franchise will begin onchain. We're building a platform to realize this vision. 

Our first project, Emergence, is a sci-fi universe created by renowned writer and producer David S. Goyer (Foundation, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Blade). Emergence is a creative sandbox designed to prove this model — come Create. Contribute. Vote. Engage. Earn.

More to come and lots to build! Big thank you to our incredibly talented team for many late nights getting to launch and to our partners 
@a16zcrypto + @storyprotocol for the support.

Have any folks in the group read these? I've found going through author catalogues increasingly futile, so I'm working backwards by finding interesting ideas on which stories are built. 

Niven's Ringworld is a case in point, but current vibe is Eyeball planets.
