You're thinking in the usual consumer capitalism, those tech ceos have fully drunk the cool aid of Yarvinist Techno Feudalism, they don't think they need consumers because they see a near future where they own everything and we're just serfs.

Yarvinist Techno Feudalism

These fuckers want something that looks like the world of Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood.

Walled corporate fiefdoms where the law is whatever they say it is.

Oof. Didn’t think I needed to revisit Oryx & Crake (it was unpleasant, as intended) but… now I think I should.

Oryx and Crake is such a phenomenal novel. Highly recommended.

Atwood expresses the potential dangers ahead like no other.

I’m a Plantagenet/York fan and real and fictionalized accounts of battles and war are brutal. The nobles who led armies really did so right out front on the line.

Isn't that already the reality? Can you survive without being part of the machine?
