But for the current target audience – the free-wheeling capitalist dotcom millionaire in Silicon Valley – going west means getting wet.  Not an issue, according to a new design report investigating the feasibility of ‘seasteads’, communities of like-minded, self-governing individuals established on the high seas, free from what its proponents see as the restrictions of nations, welfare systems and punitive taxes.  The seasteading movement has emerged as a political movement – with nods to climate change and land shortages – to create new water-borne city states.”
