Fighting the Broligarchy! Everything is on fire. With Trump back in the White House and Musk at his side, America - and by entension, the rest of the world - is in deep, deep trouble. And there's no doubt much of this trouble comes from Silicon Valley's oligarchs, the Techbros. This course brings together eight brilliant guest speakers - a new one each week - to explore the question of how we got here and what we do now. With a focus on action and solidarity building, this course will leave you energised and with everything you need to know to start fighting back.

Just listened to this podcast episode! Wonderful conversation! I saw this book on Kickstarter but wasn’t able to back it at the time, so thrilled to hear it will be coming out via Andrews & McMeel.
