I'd just commented elsewhere, the book Non-zero: The Logic of Human Destiny was a super valuable read for me in undergrad, did a lot to sell me a view that civilization is built on cooperation & collectivized planning & shared efforts.

Very glad to see this idea surface, and I hope it can be a resounding message, that can help steer our challenged species's long term orientation.
