Hi π Iβm Jay Springett
Writer, Podcaster, and Strategist
Welcome to my homepage on the World Wide Web!
I am interested in the design, administration and flourishing of worlds of all kinds
My primary thesis: All techno-social systems should be seen through the lens of worlds
I’m currently writing my first non-fiction book: The Web Was a Side Quest β an exploration of worlds and how they came to be. My essay collection on World Running can be found at worldrunning.guide
