Technofeudalism

Capitalism is dead. Welcome to technofeudalism. Visionary economist and number-one bestselling author Yanis Varoufakis shows how the owners of big tech became the world's feudal overlords - replacing capitalism with a fundamentally new system that enslaves our minds, defies democracy and rewrite the rules of global power. But as Varoufakis also reveals, technofeudalism contains new opportunities to thwart and overturn it, bringing into focus more clearly than ever the revolution we need to escape our digital prison. 'What an amazing piece of work this is. Ground-breaking, thought-provoking and highly accessible.
