I build a simulation of Brook Farm (1841-1847), the most famous failed utopian commune in American history to see if it tells me how the community fall apart. So I give AI agents the real biography of someone lived in history, let them act, talk and reflect. The logs gave me a lot of surprises.

You can also run it yourself or customize who lives there with an interactive wizard. Maybe add a real farmer, a merchant, a skeptic journalist to how the community develops.
