Survival of the Richest: The Tech Elite's Ultimate Exit Strategy by Douglas Rushkoff

3.75

Great illustration of how wealth produces a politics concerned primarily with isolation from the actual world and psychological & financial investments in ways of circumventing that world. I think this book lays needed groundwork for reminding us that billionaires aren't especially the Great Men their constructed narrations would suggest and are increasingly investing in speculation and outright fiction, with increasing disregard for the actual, material circumstances of even their own lives. Highly readable; narration sometimes self-important, but book makes strong points in every chapter that I expect I'll revisit.
