Beschreibung

<b>From the former <em>New York Times</em> technology reporter, "an enlightening breakdown of how Silicon Valley billionaires have shifted the popular discourse in their favor" (<em>Kirkus</em>)--with a new introduction and fully updated chapters</b> <p>Hailed as "a valuable addition" and a "Top Tech Book" by [...], <em>The Know-It-Alls</em> offers a prescient chronicle of the rise of Silicon Valley as a political and intellectual force. Showcasing this new class of super geeks, former <em>New York Times</em> technology reporter Noam Cohen sketches "finely researched portraits" (Nature) of the smart guys, including Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and Mark Zuckerberg, who fell in love with a radically individualistic, anti-government ideal--and then mainstreamed it.</p> <p>Now, in this completely revised and updated edition, published one year after DOGE came to town, Cohen shows how the know-it-alls came to Washington, providing a richly documented account of how their influence has metastasized, their wealth has exploded, and their technologies have frayed America's social and political fabric. The know-it-alls claim that they support Trump because the Democrats abandoned them; Cohen reveals that Trump gave them the political opening they'd been waiting for, all along.</p> <p>From the decisive influence of the pandemic, to the emergence of Elon Musk as a national political force, and the appearance of new characters and technologies, Cohen's "unabashed critique" (<em>Library Journal</em>) is the essential guide to the real power players on today's political scene.</p>
