Welcome. This is an invitation. Not to marvel at what one person built, but to imagine what we can build together. A world slightly better than the one we are in. More just. More curious. More awake.The world is changing. That much is certain. What is less certain is whether we'll let that change create new underclasses or whether we'll rise to meet it with something worthy of our ancestors and our descendants.This space exists for the second path. We work to bridge gaps in access to justice, while publishing on multi-species futures & emerging tech. Join the path: sign up below!
Beyond labour: multi-species futures
We conduct research exploring post-labour worlds – UBI, AI companions, universal access, emerging tech ethics. From lit reviews to policy papers.We ask questions like, "How do we carry our values, our ancestors, or descendants and our dreams into a posthuman future without losing ourselves?" and "Who gets to navigate the systems that shape humanity?"We partner with academics, think tanks and others grappling with these sorts of problems to navigate an ethics for a posthuman horizon.

Smarter access to justice and care
What does justice look like when you can't afford a lawyer? How do you advocate for your own rights when you don't know what they are and cannot afford to find out?We build AI-driven tools for everyday legal/health hurdles: contract reviews, eligibility checkers, personalised advice. No jargon, no barriers.
Coming soon: Beta prototypes for NZ lawyers, advocacy groups & clinics. Keen to be involved? Sign up below.
