About This Item
Hardback. New. <p><b>'A wake-up call ... fascinating' Scott Galloway, author of <i>The Four</i><br /><br />'Please read this' Jaron Lanier, author of <i>Ten Arguments For Deleting Your Social Media </i></b><br /><br /><b>From the author of <i>Move Fast and Break Things </i>comes a withering takedown of four billionaires (from Andreessen to Zuckerberg) who are selling us fantasies while the world burns.</b><br /><br />At a time when multiple crises are compounding to create epic inequality, four billionaires are hyping schemes that are designed to divert our attention away from issues that really matter. Each scheme - from the metaverse to cryptocurrency, space travel and transhumanism - is an existential threat in moral, political, and economic terms.<br /><br />In <i>The End of Reality</i>¸ Jonathan Taplin shines a light on the enormous cultural power of Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Andreessen, questioning whether we want our society to be run by people who receive blood transfusions to stay young. Will we really want our children anywhere near the metaverse? Do we trust Musk to rule over Mars?<br /><br />Tech monopolies have hollowed out the middle class and brought unbounded public acrimony. Meanwhile, enormous amounts of taxpayer money are funnelled into dystopian ventures, the benefits of which accrue to billionaires. <i>The End of Reality</i> is both a scathing critique of the warped worldview of a tiny minority and a vision of a truly regenerative economics to build a sustainable society with healthy growth and full employment.</p>
