La supervivencia de los más ricos

The technological elite has a plan to survive the apocalypse: leave us all behind. Five mysterious billionaires summon theorist Douglas Rushkoff to a desert resort for a private talk. The topic? How to survive the "event": the social catastrophe they know is coming. Rushkoff concluded 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 moral to escape a disaster of their own creation, as long as they have enough money and the right technology. Rushkoff traces the Mindset's origins in science and technology to its current expression in Mars missions, island bunkers, artificial intelligence futurism, and the metaverse. Through fascinating characters, he explains why those with the most power to change our current trajectory have no interest in doing so, and shows us how to transcend the landscape created by Mindset -a world alive with algorithms and intelligences that actively reward our most selfish tendencies- and rediscover community, mutual aid and human interdependence.
