10K Posts Book Club: Gilded Rage ft. Jacob Silverman
🕑 Added 2025-11-25 11:52:03 +0000 UTCJacob returns to the show this week to talk about his new book, GILDED RAGE: Elon Musk and the Radicalisation of Silicon Valley. Jacob explains how the post-2008 economic environment allowed the tech industry to amass an enormous amount of wealth and political power, using access to cheap credit and government contracts to embed themselves into democratic institutions. He then explains how the ascendance of culture wars, addictions to posting online and deep seeded resentment led to the formation of a violent, reactionary politics that now dominates much of the Western world, and could threaten the very concept of democracy.
