Strip away the pseudo-Nietzschean cosplay, the discount-bin contrarianism, and the billions in state-subsidized venture capital, and what do you actually find? A disgruntled millennial in a venture-capital diaper, crying into a Bloomberg terminal because the simulation wouldn't let him rewrite the rules of human dignity.

Lord of the Rent-Seekers is a biting, unsparing, and wickedly funny deconstruction of modern techno-authoritarianism. From Palantir’s deep-state feeding trough and the hilarious pipe dreams of floating seasteading islands to the gothic absurdity of billionaire blood-boy rejuvenation therapies and anti-democratic manifestos, this book exposes the glaring hypocrisy of a tech elite that preaches radical self-reliance while surviving entirely on government contracts. Dive into the control panel of Silicon Valley’s most insecure Bond villains and discover why the peasants are still voting—and why no amount of venture capital can outrun basic human mortality.
