# 🌱 Rediscovering Eden
### *AI-Powered Homesteads and a Post-Scarcity Future*
**Author:** ameritusweb
**License:** Creative Commons
**Status:** 🌿 In Progress – Seeking collaborators, feedback, and co-creators
---
## ✨ Vision
**Rediscovering Eden** is a book and open-source roadmap for building a decentralized, resilient, and abundant future. It explores how we can use **AI**, **open source technologies**, and **embodied autonomy** to create **self-sustaining homesteads**—and, eventually, an entire civilization beyond scarcity, centralized control, and ecological collapse.
This is not a fantasy. It’s a forkable blueprint.
> _"If you can survive on Mars, you can thrive on Earth. And if you can build Eden with machines, you can share it with everyone."_
