I build games, tools and communities in New York. Lately that means a library whose books never stop travelling, a community of AI wizards, a game made out of Wikipedia, and spells you cast with your bare hands.

Most of it starts as a question about how people learn, play and gather, and ends up as something you can open in a browser.

The Peripatetic Library

A distributed community library. Books travel from reader to reader and never come back to a shelf.
