Just about to finish reading 'Survival of the richest by douglas rushkoff', it's a decent contemporary tech critique but oh boy i have to put down the book sometimes because of the cringe idealist comments made by the author. Really makes me appreciate Lenin writing style more and more.
Any bangers?
He mentions capitalism a lot during the book (also some subtle anti-china rethoric like any self respecting liberal of course) but he not once mentions anything related about relations of production, he just criticizes the infinite growth property of capitalism and ties it a lot with the contemporary tech industry. The usual shallow criticism coming from libs who know about capitalism just from the osmosis of living on it and haven't really made any real study of it.
This paragraph is just peak pseudo-intellectual liberalism lmao, not technically his take but there is no debunking of the comment later which makes me think he actually believes it
Thanks!
