Peter Ludlow’s book 'Crypto Anarchy, Cyberstates, and Pirate Utopias' inspired Jarrad Hope’s early interest in crypto anarchy. Jarrad Hope is the co-founder of Logos, a grassroots movement building the technology and community to launch corruption-resistant institutions. Together, they wrote Farewell to Westphalia, exploring blockchain's application to all levels of human governance.
