Protocol Fiction Week
The Summer of Protocols is hosting a week of Protocol Fiction writing. There will be book-end in-person events in downtown Austin on Monday Feb 10th evening (7-10 PM) and Friday Feb 14 (12 PM - 4 PM), with online collaboration through the week. The Summer of Protocols will sponsor dinner and lunch for the opening and closing sessions respectively.
Imagine a protocol that you would like to see in the world and write a draft or pitch a high concept + logline for fiction around your protocol. Most voted pitch/draft gets published in the Protocolized newsletter (along with a $750 payment for your contribution)
What is protocol fiction?
From Matt Webb's blog that popularized the term among SoP folks: "How could you end up with new infrastructure, such as a national drone delivery network, or an ecosystem of biannual health checks based on MRI and AI – without being a government or a giant corporation?
One answer is to grow like the internet.
First you imagine a future network of actors with aligned incentives.
Then you define a protocol that explains how to work together, even when the network is tiny, with incentives for non-actors to join the actor network."
Agenda for the week:
Monday 7-10pm: short workshop with an intro to SoP and tensions game
Tuesday-Thursday: async sharing ideas and drafts on Discord
Friday 12-4pm: Discussion and voting on drafts or pitches
