Community
The FC mailing list has an overlapping memespace and membership with a few other online communities, in particular the Leri mailing list, the NEXUS-GAIA crowd, the Collective and the Cybermind mailing list.
Members of FC were also involved in the production of the first Internet opera, Honoria in Ciberspazio. The libretto was an example of collaborative writing initiated by a student at the Computer Writing and Research Lab at The University of Texas at Austin. Several of the notable members of the FC list are cast as characters in the libretto.
FC members were also active in the MIT Media Lab MediaMOO, were there were notably building bearing the FC mark.
During 1996 and 1997 some 10 members of Future Culture participated in a Web based game called Nomic.
FC'ers are continuing to be active in many other forms of cultural and technological expressions.
