The oligarchy’s venture “philanthropists” breed and feed their spawn, CEOs of the unicorn startups, from UBER to Munchery, and spread the cancer of the on demand economy throughout the world. As it metastasizes, both creator and created are so poisoned with power, they are an almost unrecognizable caricature of themselves. Everything around them, their fellow citizens, their wives, even their pets become gilt couture play things to wear and discard while the power that drives them, technology glowing in the perfect metaphor of the cell phone has turned from a liberating promise into a gilded dagger that eviscerates the rest of us. All that sustains us, from the food we eat, to the jobs that once gave us a way of life, to our democracy, to our planet, to our very humanity falls out of our bodies into a steaming pile at our feet.
