Popis: The network commons is a techno-utopian project which proposes an alternative, social use of technology. Together with other initiatives, it could form a nucleus of a socially transformative project – a potentially worldchanging force based on commoning practices arising from within global society. In order to avoid the mistake of internet utopianism of the 1990s, I propose to place the network commons and the larger commons movement in the context of a discourse on the city as utopia and project. In order to develop a new project and utopia we need to understand and respond to the new capitalist logic of network society and how it has reshaped the city.
