Cohen shows how smart guys like Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, and Mark Zuckerberg fell in love with a radically individualistic ideal and then mainstreamed it. With these very rich men leading the way, unions, libraries, public schools, common courtesy, and even government itself have been pushed aside to make way for supposedly efficient market-based encounters via the Internet. Donald Trump's election victory was an inadvertent triumph of the "disruption" that Silicon Valley has been pushing. A society that belittles civility, empathy, and collaboration can easily be led astray.

Very anti-intellectual

This is not a book. It's an aggregation of the last 2 years' Huffington Post and Washington Post articles. If you're looking for any sort of insight or analysis, look elsewhere. The only things here are adjectives.
The author's general thesis is basically that everyone in the bay area is a conservative and are misogynists, xenophobes, racists. The tech companies overvalued freedom of speech, didn't vendor Trump supporters fast enough and are responsible for everything bad the corporate media calls our attention to these days.
There, I just saved you a few hours of your life.
