In 2020, we saw the enshrinement of techno-feudalism – one of the overarching themes of my latest book, Raging Twenties.

At lightning speed, the techno-feudalism virus is metastasizing into an even more lethal wilderness-of-mirrors variant in which cancel culture is enforced by Big Tech all across the spectrum, science is routinely debased in social media as fake news and the average citizen is discombobulated to the point of lobotomy.

Giorgio Agamben has defined it as a new totalitarianism.
