"Did you ever wonder why the 21st century feels like a bad cyberpunk novel from the 80s? It's because [tech billionaires] read those cyberpunk novels and mistook a dystopia for a roadmap."

I was wondering if this book was going to talk about how tech billionaires misinterpret science fiction, and it turns out the whole last chapter is about that! These dudes have no media literacy skills.

This book is incredibly informative, but reading nonfiction is a double-edged sword because it also makes me so mad. Like I can't believe how terrible some people in this world are. I already thought very negatively about the tech industry when I started this book, but it is somehow SO MUCH WORSE than I ever thought! The racism and eugenics some tech leaders spout are unbelievable.
