Technofeudalism

What an amazing work this is. Groundbreaking, thought-provoking, and extremely accessible. Everyone should read it. The dark, frightening, thrilling song of our time. 100 out of 100.

Capitalism is dead. Welcome to technofeudalism. In his boldest and most far-reaching book, visionary economist and bestselling author Yanis Varoufakis shows how the owners of major tech companies have become the feudal lords of the world, replacing capitalism with a fundamentally new system that enslaves our thoughts, challenges democracy, and rewrites the rules of global power.

But as Varoufakis also reveals, technofeudalism contains new opportunities to thwart and overthrow it, bringing the revolution we need to escape our digital prison into sharper focus than ever.

An epochal, once-in-a-millennium shift. This is not just new technology. This is a world grappling with a completely new economic system and, consequently, political power.

An urgent call to seize the means of calculation. A book of the year according to the Financial Times.
