It is interesting to see the Friedman families multi-generation effort to create freedom. First there is the well known work of Milton Friedman, and as this article points out, his grandson Patri, is heading up the seasteading effort. Patri's father and Milton's son is David Friedman, a professor of economics, who wrote one of the great practical books about stateless societies: The Machinery of Freedom.
Whenever seasteading comes up in mainstream media, the comments are often filled with standard issue statist worries like "who will provide protection?" or "bioshock!" or "watch out for pirates!" The Machinery of Freedom covers many of the issues that a government free society would need to deal with, and offers practical solutions to dealing with them, along with historical examples of those solutions being employed.
Well worth reading for any libertarians who might read this.
