    Looks worth reading about the early days of Silicone Valley.
    Only journalism I remember from back there had early morning basketball games in it.

    I'm guessing that Bill Gates was an early adopter of these techbro attitudes.

  8. "Tech fascism didn’t rise in secret — it grew in plain sight. Why most journalists or politicians notice?

    In this episode of The Nerd Reich Podcast, host Gil Duran speaks with legendary tech critic Paulina Borsook, author of Cyberselfish, the prophetic book that warned about the rise of Silicon Valley authoritarianism and technofascism decades before Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and the far-right tech elite took power.

    We dive deep into how Silicon Valley’s toxic libertarianism evolved into a global far-right propaganda machine, why tech journalists failed to sound the alarm, and what happens next as AI, surveillance, and billionaire power reshape democracy.

  9. anyway, this dream has really stayed with me and I remembered it when @charliejane shared this article by #PaulinaBorsook – someone I'd never heard of because I was too young to take notice of her cultural moment, but who decades ago made a lot of observations about the state of the internet that have come true in the most horrible way

    This mini-essay is about copyright and intellectual property online, and the difference between art and information, postmodernism and plagiarism

    An interesting read for me as the Google Alert on my name keeps me abreast of all the piracy sites where my books are 'available'
