They haven't overthrown shit.
This is what capitalism is and what it always leads to: siphoning all power to the top small % of people.
Its not just techno feudalism. Musk and Bezos trying to reinvent 'company towns' housing being hoarded and only rented, education only through massive debt. Tech is just part of it, its everywhere and should be called Neo-feudalism.
That's not a great pitch for a book though.
company towns and expensive education were a thing in the less regulated era of capitalism, its not new, we are just coming back to it. its late stage capitalism.
Maybe they just need a friend to fill in the void that they're trying to fill with power and money.
