Azeem AzharAzeem Azhar on exponential technologies and their effect on business, policy, and society.
Curated by Navid Moazzez·Updated Aug 15, 2026·1 min read·Navid.me is reader-supported. When you buy through links on this site, I may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more.Exponential View operates at a higher altitude than most tech newsletters. Azhar's subject is how AI, renewable energy, and synthetic biology interact with economics and policy.
The writing connects technology to institutions — labour markets, regulation, geopolitics — which is where most tech coverage stops short.
Demanding but rewarding. Best if you want the long-range view rather than this quarter's developments.

Daily AI news and insights delivered in a fun, digestible format. One of the fastest-growing AI newsletters.
AI Breakfast sits a level deeper than the daily AI roundups. It covers research, funding and industry moves with enough context to understand why each one matters.
Three issues a week rather than daily, which suits material that does not need same-day turnaround.
Free to read, with a paid tier for the fuller analysis.
by Peter Yang
Behind the Craft is practical AI writing rather than AI news. Tutorials you can follow, and interviews with people actually building the tools.
Peter Yang led products at Roblox, Reddit, Amazon and Meta for over a decade before leaving Roblox in June 2026 to do this full time, so the product judgement behind the AI material is real rather than borrowed.
It was called Creator Economy by Peter Yang until 2025 and kept the same domain through the rename, so older links still work. There is a paid membership at behindthecraft.com, which is a separate property from the newsletter.
by Ben Tossell
Ben's Bites covers AI with a builder's bias. Tossell founded Makerpad and sold it to Zapier, so the filter is what you can actually use rather than what raised money.
It grew fast because it hit a gap: technical enough to be useful, plain enough to read over coffee.
Free, with a paid tier for deeper breakdowns.
by Benedict Evans
Benedict Evans writes about the shape of the industry rather than its events. The weekly newsletter covers news but the value is in the framing: what a development means for the structure of a market.
His background spans analysis and venture, and the writing is notably careful about distinguishing a genuine shift from a temporary one.
The right read if you want to think about tech strategically. Not the right read if you want to know what shipped today.
by Kai Brach
Dense Discovery is one of the best-crafted newsletters going. Each issue collects apps, articles, and ideas, presented with real attention to design.
Kai Brach writes from a position that is thoughtful about technology rather than uncritically enthusiastic, and the recurring theme is using less of it more deliberately.
Worth subscribing to for the quality of assembly alone, independent of any given issue's contents.
Every publishes long-form essays from a bundle of writers, covering AI, business strategy and the practice of knowledge work.
It reads more like a magazine than a newsletter, and the pieces are built to last past the week.
Free issues with a paid subscription for the full archive and columns.
by Matt Wolfe
Future Tools is a curation play. Matt Wolfe tracks new AI tools continuously and the newsletter is the filtered output — the handful worth your attention out of the hundreds that launch each week.
Alongside the tools you get a compact news roundup. The value is in what gets left out: the list is short because most of what ships is not worth trying.
It arrives Wednesdays and Fridays, and it is free. Good fit if you want to know what exists without spending your week testing tools yourself.
Futurism covers scientific and technological progress across AI, space exploration, biotech, and energy.
The framing is deliberately forward-looking, which makes it engaging but occasionally leads coverage further ahead of the evidence than the underlying research supports.
Read it for breadth across science and tech, with a degree of scepticism about the more speculative framing.
by Kale Davis
Hacker Newsletter solves a real problem: Hacker News surfaces excellent material and also consumes unlimited time. This is the weekly distillation.
Curation covers startups, programming, and technology generally, filtered down to what held up rather than what merely trended.
Good if you value the source but not the habit of checking it.
Inman is the long-running trade publication for residential real estate. Daily coverage of brokerage news, agent tactics and proptech.
Strongest on the industry's structural changes, which is where most of the money moves.
Free tier, paid subscription for full access and events.
Internet Is Beautiful collects the parts of the web that algorithmic feeds no longer surface: odd little tools, personal projects, and sites built by someone who cared rather than by a growth team.
There is no productivity justification for it. It is a reminder that the internet is larger and more interesting than the handful of platforms most of us cycle through.
Short, and a pleasant counterweight to news-heavy subscriptions.
