Imagine working for a company staffed by people you never meet in person.
This is the new type of organisation cloud computing is helping to create - amorphous, geographically spread and collaborative.Take rLoop, for example - a design collective aiming to develop pods for the futuristic high-speed transport concept called the Hyperloop.
The non-profit team comprises 400 people, but only nine have physically met.
Their story began in June 2015, when PayPal, SpaceX and Tesla entrepreneur Elon Musk announced a competition.
The challenge was to develop pods for his proposed Hyperloop transport system - which Mr Musk likens to a cross between Concorde and an air hockey table.
These pods are meant to rocket down a frictionless near-vacuum tube at speeds of up to 760mph (1,220km/h). A passenger jet has a cruising speed of about 500mph.
