TL;DR Summary

Digital age theorist Doug Rushkoff believes that tech billionaires are in escape mode, planning missions to Mars, creating island bunkers, or moving to higher ground in the event of catastrophic climate collapse. Rushkoff calls this "The Mindset" - an analysis of the way Silicon Valley technocrats think. He argues that the problem with this behavior is that it does not and will not work. Rushkoff also criticizes the sociopathic tendencies of tech billionaires and their pursuit of longevity, cloning, and large, multiple partner families. He believes that the solution to the modern world's explosion of tech challenges is personal choices and responsibility, not government intervention.
