I like Douglas Rushkoff's ideas around civilization and human-ness. I agree with him in general about the isolating effects of the way we "connect" today. What I didn't love about the book is that so many of his 100 "statements" just say things as if they're obviously true. I wasn't always so sure. I also think I could have gotten as much out of watching a few more of his videos on YouTube.
La élite tecnológica tiene un plan para sobrevivir al apocalipsis: dejarnos a todos atrás. Cinco misteriosos multimillonarios convocaron al teórico Douglas Rushkoff a un resort desértico para una charla privada. ¿El tema? Cómo sobrevivir al «evento»: la catástrofe social que saben que se avecina. Rushkoff llegó a la conclusión de que estos hombres estaban bajo la influencia de «la Mentalidad» («The Mindset»), una certeza al estilo de Silicon Valley de que ellos y su cohorte pueden romper las leyes de la física, la economía y la moral para escapar de un desastre de su propia creación, siempre y cuando tengan suficiente dinero y la tecnología adecuada. Rushkoff rastrea los orígenes de la Mentalidad en la ciencia y la tecnología hasta su expresión actual en las misiones a Marte, los búnkeres insulares, el futurismo de la inteligencia artificial y el metaverso. A través de personajes fascinantes, explica por qué quienes tienen más poder para cambiar nuestra trayectoria actual no tienen interés en hacerlo, y nos muestra cómo trascender el paisaje creado por la Mentalidad —un mundo vivo con algoritmos e inteligencias que recompensan activamente nuestras tendencias más egoístas— y redescubrir la comunidad, la ayuda mutua y la interdependencia humana.… (meer)

Don't get me wrong, there are some good points in here and several concepts and ideas I highlighted to remember. But the weight of "here's why everything is terrible" to "here's what we can do about it" was so off-balance it made it unenjoyable to read.… (meer)
