2024

Imagine a time before manufacturing in space is an everyday occurrence. Before ubiquitous nuclear energy accelerates the human race forward. Before power can be tamed and beamed city to city without wires, and human organs can be manufactured on demand. Consider a time where humanity can marshall the power of the atom to expand AI and unleash human productivity to that of mythological titans. Imagine a world where humanity refines and uses CO2 at scale to run and fuel our world versus polluting it. Imagine a time when electricity can literally be made from air and witness SpaceX rockets unlock portals to the stars, extending the human race towards colonies on Mars. Now imagine being able to smell it all coming – not the details, but the impact of an abundant exponential industrial age of progress and its implications on mankind, our culture, business, politics and daily life. It’s with this impending, on the verge, imminent reality, that we spawned: The Industrialist is an anthemic magazine that captures and uplifts a new generation of enterprising explorers and industrialists who are shaping a bold new renaissance era of abundant, industrial progress.
