We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Well, you definitely want these guys on your side. Still, there are certainly peaceful applications. For details, see the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control, the GRASP lab, and Hack a day.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Very cool.
Amazing.
My husband loved these things. He was very enthusiastic about using them as couriers or post-robots. I can see them little mechanised versions of the owl post in Harry Potter. They could deliver to you wherever you are by homing in on your mobile phone. If they weren’t allowed to enter buildings they’d send you a text saying that a QuadExpress drone is waiting outside the office with the urgent contracts for signature. Or perhaps we will all get used to seeing them flying inside buildings. This might spur modern architects to go back to having high ceilings, which I’d like.
They could also obviously be used for assistance in emergencies in any number of ways.
Pity they CREEP ME OUT.
They sort of creep me out too. Although, unlike owls, they don’t leave droppings (or so I hope…).
