The author is the one who narrowed the field, and unnecessarily so, to make a point. He starts the criteria with "billionaires".. 0.000000215% of the worlds population. Then to narrow it down farther he says they must be working on 'cool sci-fi shit'. Ie: they can't just be doing innovative things, they must be sci-fi things, and even if they are sci-fi, they must be 'cool'. Of course there are only a few people who meet that criteria.
