Zuck's New Coke

Hi, I’m Azeem Azhar. As a global expert on exponential technologies, I advise governments, some of the world’s largest firms, and investors how to make sense of our exponential future. Every Sunday, I share my view on developments that I think you should know about in this newsletter.

In today’s edition:

• Long-duration energy storage is the key to decarbonisation, but it’s been chronically underfunded,

• Zuckerberg’s shoving the metaverse under the rug, 

• Food landscape of the future.
