Josh Marcus
I am the author of The Time Lords: Jeff Bezos, a 10,000-year Clock, and Big Tech's Quest to Seize the Future (Beacon Press).
It explores Silicon Valley history, billionaire altruism, and a secret project to build a global monument inside a mountain on Jeff Bezos's ranch in Texas. Also, the end of the world.
Pre-order The Time Lords HERE. The book comes out on January 17, 2027. The clock (ahem) is ticking.
I cover tech and politics for The Independent, including optimism-inducing topics such as: killer robots; the San Francisco housing crunch; secret Border Patrol surveillance; the Trump administration's El Salvador gulag; the new "Lavender Scare;" students booing AI; a proposed mega-statue of Prometheus on Alcatraz; fascist DHS propaganda; and, last but not least, the Luigi Mangione musical.
I am based in San Francisco, California, on planet Earth.
