Urbit with Galen Wolfe-Pauly

As the internet has grown, increasingly, we are consumers of services provided by corporations rather than owners and operators of our own systems.  To many, this trend towards centralization is antithetical to the spirit of a free and open internet.

Urbit is a new operating system and peer-to-peer network.  There are several layers of novel ideas in this ambitious project.  In this episode, I interview Galen Wolfe-Pauly about the Urbit project.
