  Lorenzo (01:16:12) - One of the urgencies is defining a community. You have mentioned you move in both online and offline, real-life communities. networksI'm curious to know from you if, for example, the resilience of traditional publishing is based on the fact that offline and real-life communities are more defined than online communities, which are undefined or fragmented. I’m curious to know your opinion about that.

  Silvia (01:17:16) - It’s true that online communities form very quickly. For example, the TikTok algorithm is very specialised. So, what is happening is that cores are becoming something very specific and sometimes communities start from how much you love a chair or how much you love peeling an iguana. And this is very strange because then it can be very fast and when you just stop to love peeling an iguana, your community is not there anymore. I’m joking, but what Nero did, and what the Institute of Network Cultures and Aksioma are doing is very similar. networksI love that you three are together because you are building a community behind publishing, which is very, very hard to do. But you’re also publishing in a very fast way and your covers are very Instagrammable. You are also trying to explore the communities that are forming in different social media. I see that you’re doing that. I think this is a very good strategy because it’s very similar to what we are doing when we create loops between the “real life” world and the URL world.
