Do you want to know how the tech elites are trying to use their wealth and technologies to escape the consequences of their actions and leave the rest of humanity behind? Then it would be best to read Douglas Rushkoff’s Survival of the Riches: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires, which I think was the best book I read back in 2022.
In this book, he also challenges the fantasies of tech utopianism, such as building AI and colonizing Mars. Instead, he argues that these are all distractions to avoid the real problems of our reality, such as inequality, environmental degradation, and social disconnection. Rushkoff calls for a radical shift from individualism and competition to building communities and cooperation, from extraction and consumption to regeneration.
