In part 3 of a 4-part series, we’re diving into the very beginning of Soylent, the futuristic meal replacement created by Rob Rhinehart. In this part, we dig deep into the timeline of how it got started and the logistics of getting Soylent started. View Part 1 and 2.

Theresa Christine Johnson

Theresa entered the world of design through The Dieline. With a background in writing and journalism, she has a passion for discovery and cultivating human connections. Her work for The Dieline is a constant journey to deeply understand all facets of the design process and to investigate what makes designers tick. Theresa’s writing has taken her snorkeling in between the tectonic plates in Iceland, horseback riding through a rural Brazilian town, and riding an octopus art car at Burning Man with Susan Sarandon as part of a funeral procession for Timothy Leary (long story). When not writing, she is planning her next trip or taking too many pictures of her cat.
