Technocracy Unleashed: Who Controls our Future?

Is it Elon Musk’s techno-utopia or Peter Thiel’s neo-feudalism?

When I was a kid, I used to watch The Jetsons and think, "Ah, wow, we’re going to have flying cars and sassy robot kitchen maids."

But it’s not looking that way, is it?

I could be wrong, I mean, Elon Musk shared this video recently:

Although, it’s pretty worrying that there are no green spaces. I mean, where are we going to walk our dogs, or will all the green spaces be inside those horrid-looking skyscrapers?

So, I guess I have to let go of my utopian dream of the jet age and must replace it something colder, harder — an algorithmic dominion ruled by technoligarch with botox smiles and transplanted hairlines with stem cell-enhanced blood in their veins.

British philosopher Nick Land foresaw this, though even he might balk at how swiftly his nihilistic prophecies have taken root among those with the funds to shape our future.
