The seasteading movement has always been one of Silicon Valleys more intriguing pockets. Born at Burning Man, funded in its early days by PayPal billionaire Peter Thiel, stacked with tech workers, and dedicated to its mission of building utopian civilizations on giant floating platforms in the middle of the ocean, the quixotic, libertarian-leaning group has been chugging along for seven years, inspiring magazine profiles and holding conferences while its floating-cities project inches closer to reality. <\/p>\n

Subject: Casting Call: TV Series Seeks Seasteaders <\/p>\n
Your dream to leave land behind and experience a new life at sea is now a possibility. <\/p>\n
The Seasteading Institute is consulting with a new unscripted television series for a major cable network. The show is seeking a variety of experts and survivalists ready to create a new community on the ocean while building, engineering, and rehabbing residential quarters. If you have what it takes to survive challenging weather and sea conditions, if you have a yearning desire to experiment with ocean-based technologies, if you can bring a skill set that will add to the sea-villages development, then this is an opportunity for you. <\/p>\n
