520    "The tech elite have a plan to survive the apocalypse: 
       they want to leave us all behind. Five mysterious 
       billionaires summoned theorist Douglas Rushkoff to a 
       desert resort for a private talk. The topic? How to 
       survive the "Event": the societal catastrophe they know is
       coming. Rushkoff came to understand that these men were 
       under the influence of The Mindset, a Silicon Valley-style
       certainty that they and their cohort can break the laws of
       physics, economics, and morality to escape a disaster of 
       their own making-as long as they have enough money and the
       right technology. 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"--|cProvided by publisher
