Survival of the Richest

The opening scene — tech billionaires flying Rushkoff out to a private resort to prep their apocalypse bunkers — is one of the more striking entry points in recent nonfiction, and it earns the scrutiny that follows. Rushkoff clearly knows Silicon Valley culture from the inside, and the critique of techno-solutionism and escape ideology is important and largely well-grounded. The book does become more diffuse and preachy as it goes, and it's a polemic rather than an analysis, so readers wanting balance should know what they're getting.
