What is CIBOOK

A record of how people
understood their own time.

CIBOOK is a century-scale cultural archive built around a simple premise: people whose work has lasting impact see their moment in history from inside it.

Each selected participant contributes one portrait and one message that includes a prediction. Together, those contributions will form a single physical Master Volume: a sealed record of perspectives created during this period, preserved for a future public opening in 2130.

CIBOOK is not produced for sale, advertising, or media distribution. Participation is not purchased, and contributions are not monetized. The project exists to preserve a defined cultural record, not to create a platform around its participants.

Before burial, CIBOOK maintains controlled records to support participant coordination, secure production, preservation, and continuity. The final Master Volume will be sealed for burial in New York City in 2030 under documented custodial arrangements.

I
A Written Message
Each participant contributes one written message that includes a prediction about the future. The message is held under CIBOOK’s sealed-content procedures and is not publicly disclosed before 2130.
II
A Portrait
Each participant contributes one portrait representing them at the time of participation. The portrait becomes part of the physical Master Volume.
III
A Physical Master Volume
The contributions will be assembled into one definitive archival volume. It is planned for sealed burial in New York City in 2030 and institutional custody through its opening in 2130.
Planned for sealed custody from 2030 to 2130.
