Seasteading redux.

Seasteading: Libertarians Set to Launch a (Wet) Dream of 'Freedom' in International Waters

Brad Reed takes an amused look at Patri Friedman's seasteading plans, yet another repeat of utopian libertarian daydreams for the wealthy.

In the "Freedom Through Technology" index. Hat tip to Markus Cavanagh for this one!
