Marc Andreessen's Techno-Optimist Manifesto contextualizes the imperative for technological progress and serves as a cri de coeur for reinvesting our faith in building the future, along with advancing the tools we use to get us there. As Network Press's debut title, the celebration of human possibility found in Andreessen's manifesto sets a tone for the catalog and demonstrates our mission as a publisher: to provide the ideas, strategies, and spiritual nourishment to carry humanity to the stars.
