Anander Mol, Anander Veig

Anander Mol poses the question of what it means to be Jewish today. How should things change in this new time, and what is our new way? This is an important question not just for Jews in the world, but for all people in the world.

And most importantly, it takes full advantage of the third wave of disruption that is currently occurring – the advent of nested acceleration platforms on top of the web as an infrastructure.
