Interesting review. I wonder if Musk and Vance are on the same page.

Thanks, Linda! Vance is a protégé of Thiel, they both subscribe to the idea of disrupting the state - Thiel is also working towards abolishing democracy as we know it, just like Musk.
Your review made me think of The Nerd Reich actually doing that. Not sure if you read it already, if not - it’s another piece in this shitty puzzle

Thanks for the hint, Maria - as a German, I find the title quite questionable, as techno fascism differs substantially from the fascism of the Third Reich, so why a title just as attention-grabbing as the flashy messaging on platforms that we criticize? Still might be a good book though, of course. I've read the actual source material of the ideology, The Dark Enlightenment, and unsurprsingly, it's a shit show.
