A timely exposé of the ludicrous and cruel obsessions of Silicon Valley’s oligarchs

“In an era when billionaire space races and AI hype dominate headlines, More Everything Forever arrives as a much-needed reality check.” —The Atlantic

Tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have decided that the only worthwhile future for humanity is one powered by technology: trillions of humans living in space, functionally immortal, served by superintelligent AIs.

In More Everything Forever, science journalist Adam Becker investigates these wildly implausible and profoundly immoral visions of tomorrow—and shows there is no good evidence that they will, or should, come to pass. Silicon Valley giants claim their ideas are based on science, but in reality they come from a jumbled mix of shallow futurism and racist pseudoscience, distracting us from solving crucial problems like climate change.

Urgent reading in our dire political moment, More Everything Forever exposes the sinister ideas that dominate Silicon Valley and beyond, challenging us to see how foolish, and dangerous, these visions of the future are.
