About the author
Simba Mudonzvo
19 booksSimba Mudonzvo is a British-Zimbabwean satirist and tech blogger who spent years dissecting Silicon Valley's absurdities before realizing the real joke was how willingly we were all climbing into the cage. As the founder of TechOnion—a publication he describes as "like Wikipedia getting drunk with The Onion after a TechCrunch party"—he's made a career of peeling back the layers of tech industry hype, one satirical headline at a time.
His blog posts about investigative journalism and tech satire inevitably led him to writing books. His first, Clickonomics: How to Win Customers and Influence People on the Internet, introduced readers to digital marketing mechanics. But his latest work, The Gilded Cage: How the Quest for Artificial Intelligence (AGI) Became the Greatest Deception in Human History, represents something darker—a 95-thesis warning that began as late-night conversations with AI chatbots after his mother's death in 2022 and evolved into a full-blown philosophical reckoning with the systems of dependency Silicon Valley is building beneath our screens.
When he's not blogging about AI slop flooding the internet or dissecting the algorithmic blitzkrieg manufacturing our consensus reality, he's a father to two sons, Michael and Manuel. He believes the most dangerous cage is the one we choose—and that the greatest act of rebellion in the coming age will be thinking a thought from beginning to end without digital assistance.
