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.

There are also other, smaller misrepresentations that rubbed me the wrong way. For example claiming that Richard Dawkin’s “The Selfish Gene” claims that individuals are selfish. Dawkin’s in fact makes the exact opposite claim: individuals can be altruistic, because selfish genes “don’t care” in which body they survive.
It’s a shame, because I was intrigued by the initial critique of end-of-worldism and some of its billionaire proponents There are some interesting aspects to the covered topic. A more ‘empathetic’ representation of the author’s cartoon-villinized subjects and systems would have made for an interesting read.
