The age of superintelligence is here.

Some deny it. Some fight it. Some say it will make us less human. We think it will begin a new period of human flourishing. Menial work will be taken off our hands and our lives will grow longer. With that time we will read the great books, learn new skills, work with our hands and explore new worlds.

Wunderkammer builds ambitious companies in technology, education, literature and beyond.

“We have given you, Adam, no fixed seat, no form of your own and no gift that is yours alone, so that whatever seat, whatever form and whatever gifts you choose, you may have and hold them by your own wish and your own judgment. The nature of every other creature is defined, and confined within laws we have laid down. You are confined by no such bounds. You will set the limits of your nature for yourself, by your own free will.”

–Pico della Mirandola, 1486
