Mike is a coop-commons organiser in the sphere of digital infrastructure, mobilised in making a Living Economy and building activist formations that have the capability to skilfully do that. This began within the London Industrial Strategy at the Greater London Council, in the 80s. He is a ‘retired’ anthropologist, designer and labour-process developer: a culture hacker in the worlds of code hackers.
