The Social Dilemma is billed as an expose of Silicon Valley's manipulative social media algorithms. But it's actually a manipulative ad for a thinktank funded by toxic corporate foundations.
I don't know who else has the background that you do about Internet surveillance, but it seems like a wide open lane. And your book deserves a larger audience. Don't laugh, but Joe Rogan?
Hi Yasha...given that Surveillance Valley was how I came across your work, I'd be keen to read that draft chapter if you have it sitting around...at this rate you're going to have to change your name to Morpheus ;-)
Good work as usual. Minor typo if you're interested in fixing:
But that’s not something that the Silicon Valley insiders, millionaires, and thank-tankers who helped make The Social Dilemma are going to focus too much attention on. As far as they’re concerned, society’s been good [TO] them. What do they have to complain about?

Haha. It’s rough around the edges so I’ll need to work on it a bit. But I’ll publish it—probably in several installments.

By the way, I assumed that you meant "thank-tankers" as written. It's an apt description and funny.
Good info, as isusl, from Yasha Levine, about how things really work.
Were they?!!! Wouldn’t be surprised. But this lockdown business destroyed my brainfunction so I can’t remember anything.
No! Just lockdown brain damage.
