A Billion to One…
is a newsletter about wealth, technology, and power by Julia Black.
I’ve dedicated my career to peeling back the layers to reveal the political and philosophical underpinnings of the technology that shapes our lives. I’ve written about what Peter Thiel’s interpretation of the New Testament can tell us about his desire to restructure society; how Sam Altman’s obsession with 1980s sci-fi and Hinduism illuminates his ideas about AGI; how Elon Musk’s fears about the long-term future helped inform his decision to buy one of the world’s largest social media networks.
This is a place to expand on my reporting about the psychologies and worldviews of the ultra-wealthy individuals defining our era, and to process how it all connects back to you.
