We are living in the ultimate revenge of the nerds, driven by a crew of socially awkward tech bros who won’t stop until the society that they never quite fit into is obliterated.

Do we want these people dictating profound changes in our society? Technology advances, in part, because a small number of entrepreneurs or scientists get really hyped about
something, and another small number of investors gets even more hyped about the massive financial opportunities that development represents. But the rest of us do have a say: We
have a choice as to whether we want to adopt that technology or not. We can consider our preferences, and the long-term societal implications. We can resist the old-fashioned
corporate greed that gets wrapped in the language of pro-humanistic societal advancement and care.
