Synopsis
Vision
What will be the humanity's future?
Some of us see it as dark and hopeless. Others avoid this question and aim to be "successful" now.
The holotopia is a realizable vision of a future that is profoundly better than our present.
The holotopia vision is made concrete in terms of five insights, which by showing how pivotal aspects of our social existence can be revolutionized, establish an analogy with a historical comprehensive change:
- innovation (analogy with Industrial Revolution)
- communication (analogy with Copernican Revolution)
- epistemology (analogy with Enlightenment)
- method (analogy with Scientific Revolution)
- values (analogy with Renaissance)
Strategy
The holotopia strategy is to focus our efforts on comprehensive and positive change.
The five insights show why such change may be easy—even when smaller and obviously necessary changes may be impossible.

Our mission is to empower knowledge to make a difference.
We implement this mission in two steps.

The first step is to institutionalize knowledge federation as an academic field.
