Last week of my Asia tour: Hong Kong. New connections, well received speeches, and a lot of unexpected but highly productive meetings. A fantastic and joyfully knackering trip taking in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. Back Saturday! #HongKong #Asia #SpeakerLife

For those whose s*** don't stink? I have a fascination with bathroom and toilet signs from around the world - go ahead, judge me 🤣 More from this trip to follow. #Travel #SpeakerLife

A wonderful afternoon visiting St Francis University and exploring how we can collaborate on foresight research and programmes. I have high hopes :) #Foresight #HigherEducation #University

Spent the afternoon at Huawei in Shenzhen. R&D is 21% of turnover, 53% of staff. Highlights: genetic computing, movie-projecting headlights, and a $150k car with 43 speakers, gesture doors, AR display and a mode that wakes you up if you fall asleep driving. #Huawei #AI #China

Popped over from Hong Kong to Shenzhen for the afternoon to see Huawei's latest tech innovations. They've spent over US$50Bn developing AI - embedded across everything from mobile handsets to data centres and cars. #Huawei #AI #China

4 hours KL to Hong Kong. Flight cost £6.23 🤣 Empty emergency row. Baggage 700g under the 32kg limit - 10kg of which are gifts and people's books. Not sure it gets any better than this. #SpeakerLife #Travel

The Indian High Commissioner to Malaysia got passionate talking about India's modernisation plans, then asked for a selfie after I gave him our books. Said he'd send it to the British High Commissioner to make him jealous 🤣

Loved speaking at the Singapore Mentoring Committee this morning. Business leaders walk with students for 90 mins, 3 rounds of pairings. First time they've had more mentors than mentees - turns out exam season hit the students hard 🤣 #Singapore #Mentoring #SMU

Sights on tour. Staying at a crazily cheap 5-star hotel near the Network School in Forest City 🤣 Sharing it with a huge Indian golfing party — happy, tightly knit, vibrant. Reminded me of the big family warmth I miss from childhood. ❤️

A hub for the future?

US$1,500/month at the Network School, Forest City Malaysia = hotel, meals, co-working, lectures & 300+ innovators. Coinbase already have a permanent team there. 🚀

Build it and they will come?

The Network School in Forest City isn't just Networked State disciples — it's 300+ diverse people: deep tech founders, digital nomads, therapists & more. Fascinating to watch this experiment unfold. 🌐

Society as a Service.

The Networked State aims to build communities with real governance, education & support systems. The Network School in Forest City, Malaysia is exactly that — brilliant, energised people worth paying attention to. 🌐

A brief but fun encounter with Balaji Srinivasan - founder of the Network School in Forest City, Malaysia. Big thanks to Rich Robinson for making it happen and being such a generous host. 🙏

Beyond Nation States.

What if an online community became a self-organising society with its own rules, economy & governance? I spoke at the Network School in Forest City, Malaysia to explore exactly that. 🌐

[Rohit Talwar @fastfuture]

Great talking to the bright young minds at Balaji Srinivasan's Network School today — the heart of the Networked State movement. One of the most interesting concepts for how society could adapt to a technoprogressive future. 🌐

Are you planning to be in Kuala Lumpur April 10th-15th, or 24th?
I'm there for some speeches and meetings and would love to meet if you are around. You'd also be welcome to attend either of these events as my guest. Let me know.

How do I get @cathaypacific to fix a problem they created? I rebooked to May1st & paid for a cabin upgrade. They issued premeconomy seat. Live service chat offered to charge ~£4K for the seat I'd already bought. Feedback team will take up to 4 wks to reply!

China is moving fast on AI.

State firms and city governments are building systems to support millions of one‑person companies.

They see AI layoffs coming and treat solo businesses as a policy response.

The goal is long‑term employment and AI leadership.

Singapore has a national digital twin. Dublin is piloting city-scale AI. South Korea is tracking relocatable modular buildings via digital twins. The built environment is becoming programmable. #TechDisruption
