Edition № 0 · 20 August 2026
A chronicle of the revolution in real time
An introduction: what the weekly covers, the discipline it follows, and why we think this era still has authors.
The AI era, examined.
What you need to know, what you need to understand.
Written from Europe, for readers everywhere. Every claim sourced.
Why this exists
AI is not changing the world on its own.
It is accelerating forces that were already reshaping it. Housing that outruns salaries, careers that outrun their training, institutions that outrun their trust. The machinery that converts effort into a life was straining before this technology arrived.
AI changes the speed of the journey. The conditions and the choices set the destination. That is why the same systems can strengthen one society and unsettle another, and why the fatalists of both camps, the boosters and the doomers, are making the same mistake. If you see the forces at work, you can make your own judgments.
The programmes
Four ways in.
The Themes.
The weekly edition. One theme, argued, then the money, the rules and the frontier.
The People.
Long conversations with the researchers, policymakers, entrepreneurs and investors shaping this era.
The Choices.
Guides to the decisions this era forces: what to study, where to live, when to buy, how to build, how to raise children.
The Metrics.
How countries are absorbing the acceleration. The same coordinates, tracked over time.
This week
The conversations that used to happen behind closed doors.
The last time we built a technology of this consequence, the people who understood it best were the least free to speak. The public inherited the outcome instead of the argument. We think that was a mistake.
The courses
From understanding to capability.
Analysis tells you what is happening. The courses train what to do about it, in your family, your team, your organisation.
Waitlist open
Leading Change with AI
For leaders who must take an organisation through the transition — honestly, and without the theatre.
Waitlist open
