The End of Reality
By Taplin, Jonathan
A brilliant takedown and exposé of the great con job of the twenty-first century - the metaverse, crypto, space travel, transhumanism - being sold by four billionaires (Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Marc Andreesen, Elon Musk) , leading to the degeneration and bankruptcy of our society.. At a time when the crises of income inequality, climate, and democracy are compounding to create epic wealth disparity and the prospect of a second American civil war, four billionaires are hyping schemes that are designed to divert our attention away from issues that really matter. Each scheme - the metaverse, cryptocurrency, space travel, and transhumanism - is an existential threat in moral, political, and economic terms.. In The End of Reality¸ Jonathan Taplin provides perceptive insight into the personal backgrounds and cultural power of these billionaires - Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Andreesen ("The Four") - and shows how their tech monopolies have brought middle-class wage stagnation, the hollowing out of many American towns, a radical increase in income inequality, and unbounded public acrimony.

Quantum Supremacy
By Kaku, Michio
An exhilarating tour of humanity's next great technological achievement - quantum computing - which may eventually unravel the deepest mysteries of science and solve some of humanity's biggest problems, like global warming, world hunger, and incurable disease, by the bestselling author of The God Equation. The runaway success of the microchip processor may be reaching its end. Running up against the physical constraints of smaller and smaller sizes, traditional silicon chips are not likely to prove useful in solving humanity's greatest challenges, from climate change, to global starvation, to incurable diseases. But the quantum computer, which harnesses the power and complexity of the atomic realm, already promises to be every bit as revolutionary as the transistor and microchip once were.
