Page-turner examination of the corrupting influence of extreme wealth and blind faith in technology. This won‘t be the last book I read by Douglas Rushkoff. A true visionary!

First book club book of the year. It was interesting and not one I would have picked up on my own. The so-so rating is just because this is not my type of book. It was very well written, researched and did not use a lot of jargon.
A great book. Rushkoff is an experienced cultural and technological commentator, and here he brings his wisdom to bear on a weird fact: the rich benefit from destructive behaviour that funds ... their escape from the consequences of their destructive behaviour! A well-informed and angry-making book that ends on a positive note with suggestions for change.
