A curated look at the political radicalization of Silicon Valley, from Elon Musk to Peter Thiel, JD Vance, and Donald Trump, and how this will affect all of our futures.

From the pursuit of potentially revealing artificial intelligence to startups promising billionaires eternal youth, and to those promoting far-right politics worldwide, Silicon Valley's techno-utopian dream has become tarnished. The global community of innovators holds the world in its hands, but cannot endure contact.

In the book "Gilded Rage: Elon Musk and the Radicalization of Silicon Valley", New York Times bestselling author Jacob Silverman guides us through a critical investigation into the radicalization of Silicon Valley and the billionaires who increasingly govern our lives, shape the global economy, and support Donald Trump.

At the heart of this book is Elon Musk, but it is not just about one person and his obsession with the "virus of woke mind". Silverman reveals a network of tech and financial oligarchs, empowered by years of zero interest rates, who are now using their wealth to push an increasingly radical political agenda.

Traversing San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Austin, Miami, New York, Washington, and various global centers of technology, finance, and political power, Silverman interviews people who are already experiencing the real consequences of the ongoing political revolution. It is a strange, sometimes frightening, darkly humorous reality where magnates proselytize a popular revolution while dismantling the remaining restraints on their influence.

"Gilded Rage" offers essential insight and perspective for anyone wanting to understand what is happening in Silicon Valley. As the unpredictable influence of tech elites continues to spread worldwide, Jacob’s story will be of deep significance to all of us.
