Voluntary servitude from 1548 to our software

Étienne de La Boétie asked why millions obey one person when the power belongs to them, and he answered that the power falls when people withdraw their consent.

Five centuries later, people and companies have encryption, blockchain, artificial intelligence and open source to own what they depend on. The studio builds those tools for its clients.

Nature made us all from the same mold, that we might recognize one another as brothers.
