About this listen

‘What an amazing piece of work this is. Ground-breaking, thought-provoking and highly accessible. Everyone should read it. The dark, scary, exciting song of our age. 100 out of 100’ IRVINE WELSH
Capitalism is dead. Welcome to technofeudalism.
In his boldest and most far-reaching book, the visionary economist and number-one bestselling author Yanis Varoufakis shows how the owners of big tech became the world's feudal overlords – replacing capitalism with a fundamentally new system that enslaves our minds, defies democracy and rewrite the rules of global power.
But as Varoufakis also reveals, technofeudalism contains new opportunities to thwart and overturn it, bringing into focus more clearly than ever the revolution we need to escape our digital prison.
‘An epochal, once-in-a-millennium shift . . . this isn't just new technology. This is the world grappling with an entirely new economic system and therefore political power’ Observer
‘An urgent demand to seize the means of computation’ CORY DOCTOROW

Some hope for the grim world conditions
Feudalism is back and it aptly describes the lives of many. There is still some hope that this techno feudalism may also one day be turned over.

Great book, not filled filled with hope
Yanis is explains what has occurred, and asking us to change it. We are being called to over throw, both the government and the large institutions that used public money to i trench their feudal states.
Worth the tread, and I hope it creates change

Yanis is a master storyteller- whether or not you agree with his conceptualisation of our current world order, this book is worth a listen just for his narration which is delightful.

Acutely relevant, intelligent and original
The book presents complex themes in a way that is both technically detailed, but interesting. Addressing the book to his late father, Varoufakis brings humanity and passion to the global and technological problems of society and shows us a potential way ahead. The author reading it is a joy to listen to. Thankyou

where do you fit in the technofeudal world ?
Big perspective from someone who had a front row seat to the unfolding of a new political and economical era. I loved it.
