À propos de cet audio
In Survival of the Richest, Rushkoff traces the origins of The Mindset in science and technology through its current expression in missions to Mars, island bunkers, AI futurism, and the metaverse. In a dozen urgent, electrifying chapters, he confronts tech utopianism, the datafication of all human interaction, and the exploitation of that data by corporations. Through fascinating characters—master programmers who want to remake the world from scratch as if redesigning a video game and bankers who return from Burning Man convinced that incentivized capitalism is the solution to environmental disasters—Rushkoff explains why those with the most power to change our current trajectory have no interest in doing so. And he shows how recent forms of anti-mainstream rebellion—QAnon, for example, or meme stocks—reinforce the same destructive order.
This mind-blowing work of social analysis shows us how to transcend the landscape The Mindset created—a world alive with algorithms and intelligences actively rewarding our most selfish tendencies—and rediscover community, mutual aid, and human interdependency. In a thundering conclusion, Survival of the Richest argues that the only way to survive the coming catastrophe is to ensure it doesn’t happen in the first place.

A very interesting read.
I found this book a fascinating look into the mindset and outlook of the tech billionaires and their endless need to push forward and create the newer, better solution to our problems when other more cohesive and thought out solutions are available. Rushkoff paints a vivid portrait of the mentality of those wealthy few who see the vast majority of us working class as little more than pawns on a chessboard, and who want to find a brighter future, just one that benefits the wealthy elite first and foremost. Highly recommended.

page turner
good book. I thought it would go more into what the ultra rich spend their money on. But was still good to know how inequities are formed and how it's gonna look like in the future.
I think I saw an interview from the author at the majority report

Best Book I’ve read in a long time
A fantastic clear eyed perspective on the economic sector and tech billionaires that are directing our populations off a cliff for their own short sighted and self involved aspirations.
Loved it

Misleading Title
The title and tag line suggest that it's a book about tech billionaires and their wacky plans for the apocalypse, but only the first chapter is about that.
The rest of the book is an unfocused hodge podge of subjects that the author lumps under the label of "The Mindset", which is clearly a term that he hopes will catch on (it won't).
This was frustrating because I found the book to be largely entertaining, and I even agreed with many of the points he made, even though he doesn't make them very well. He tends to just state that someone he disagrees with is wrong without providing any evidence or explanation about what makes them wrong. So while I might agree with what he's saying, he can come off like an internet commentor who is just trying to score points with people who already agree with him.

Clickbait title - not worth reading
This book should be titled « A thousand reasons why I don’t like billionaires » but has absolutely nothing to do with what it’s title suggests. It is a nearly 6hours rambling about recent tech achievements and why it goes against the leftist values of the author.
It is filled with approximations and leftist interpretation of recent events, but very few unbiased facts.
Anyone reading the news will not learn a single thing listening to this.
If you are a tiny bit knowledgeable about the world, this book won’t teach you anything new, I very much regret buying it.
