In issue 005 of Digital Frontier, meet the Outlier people, projects and ideas reimaging what our future will look like.

The founders of New Computer are attempting to code a computerised soul; Kenyan builders leapfrog ahead using DIYed infrastructure; and multi-hyphenate creatives Danielle Baskin and Damjanski are turning random thoughts into engaging experiences.

We also explore a DeepMind researcher’s suggestion that AI needs a body to attain superintelligence and dive into the weird world of virtual fantasy via Berlin’s Cybrothel.

We hope the youthful optimism of everyone featured is contagious.
