It brings to mind Marinetti. “We stand on the last promontory of the centuries!” he wrote in 1919. “Why should we look back, when what we want is to break down the mysterious doors of the Impossible?” Tech billionaires are radicalizing because they won’t accept any challenge to their power. Andreessen wants to force people to pick a side, hoping decades of hype around Silicon Valley will convince people to stick with the founders. But what it really shows is why criticism of the industry is so important and why a renewed Luddite movement is absolutely necessary. We must challenge the industry’s power and succeed in discrediting its titans before it’s too late.
