    "description": "A 27-slide keynote arguing that the agentic web (Web A) is at its ground floor, Web A.0, and that this is our one chance to encode cooperation into the substrate before it ossifies. Delivered at the Cooperative Futures Institute Summer Academy, San Francisco, June 1, 2026, to evolutionary biologists, cooperation theorists, and AI-alignment researchers. The deck itself is an agent-first citizen of Web A. An agent can discover it, read it, and cite any slide.",
