As far as I can tell from this (this is the first I've heard of Urbit and Yarvin), Urbit essentially is a form of social network that that tries to create a self-governing, "ideal state" in cyberspace. The author of the article credibly argues that the project is governed by a political theory ("neocameralism"), explained as "right-libertarianism taken to its logical conclusion". The network is described as based on a set of principles that considerably differs from common democratic principles ("one person one vote") and instead posits a hierarchical structure much reminiscent of a feudal system with tiered voting rights and privileges based on (in-system) virtual property. The anti-modern gist is underlined by Yarvin quoting lead Nazi theorists (at least once) in his writings. I'm sure I've missed something (but, I deliberately skipped the technology as that just seems like an outgrowth of the ideology), it is what I've gleaned from a quick readthrough, but my main point here is not so much what Urbit is and wants to accomplish in detail (which seems "a bit" over the top tbh) as highlighting the category of systems that Urbit belongs to: by the users self-governed cyber-networks with internal assets that need to be distributed and ruled over in some way. I expect this to be an increasing area of study moving forwards - at least I think it should be. What are other examples of this? (not counting corporate owned systems)
