Tech Fascism: Borsook's Early Prediction Was Correct

John Johnston (JJ) reacts to part of a recent video by Gil Duran from The Nerd Reich, in which he interviews author and journalist Paulina Borsook. Over 20 years ago, she published a book predicting the negative influence on politics of Silicon Valley tech billionaires.
