Nathan Sobo, founder of Zed, published a blog post titled “Xanadu Has Been Waiting for an Agent,” stating that Xanadu is the hypertext vision proposed by Ted Nelson in the 1960s—a “document universe” where no content can be deleted or overwritten, and all fragments are preserved in their original context. This idea influenced computer science for decades, but it never truly became a practical product. Sobo’s argument is that Xanadu has been waiting for an Agent.
