The Hub
Let’s build the Hub and be done with the tech giants
by Charlie Alice Raya
The ideas for the Hub address a wide range of issues: rethinking business practices in general, rethinking online business practices, rethinking the internet including social media, rethinking communication, arts, entertainment and shopping, rethinking the digitalisation of services regarding health, town or city administrations, and tourist administrations, rethinking global business dominance, rethinking how to deal with profits, rethinking how to take past and present injustices into account, and some other points.
In short, the Hub has grown into a complex idea with a lot of potential input for how we might decide to deal with each other in the future.
This collection contains scenes and dialogues from book 1, beginning and from book 2, travelling.
In book 1 the idea for the Hub is developed, the teams are set up, and a first Hub version is launched at the Easy Town conference, causing panic among tech giants, and leading to a memorable meeting with one of them.
In book 2 some of the Hub Stations are visited, more people get nervous about the Hub, and the Hub prepares the launch of additional features.
In some cases unused and additional material are included.
Part V of this collection contains additional material such as the Hub perspectives or the Hub business model as blueprint for other businesses.
This collection concludes with the big question: What does it take to build the Hub?
