"The working class are more numerous than the ruling class, and stronger. They depend on us for everything. We provide their food and build their houses. And make their clothes, and without us they die. They can't do anything unless we let them. Always remember that."

-Fall of Giants by Ken Follett

Cartoon depicting a sailboat named 'Reading' moored at a jetty overlooking the sea, where a galleon, a mysterious island, and a large sea monster are visible on the horizon. The sea simultaneously forms the front cover of a gigantic book. A staircase runs along the cover of the book to the jetty. Next to this staircase stands a sign reading 'Join the adventure'. This sign is completely ignored by the people walking by, who are all hunched over, staring at their smartphone screens.

”A new book by…Gil Durán investigates “tech fascism” and its mounting influence on U.S. politics. … Durán traces the ideological lineage of the current Trump administration back from Vance to Thiel and…Curtis Yarvin…”
