[*Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism*](https://t.densediscovery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fapp.thestorygraph.com%2Fbooks%2F51c3c209-fca4-4cb3-afbc-ff5ed60e2e75%3Futm_source=DenseDiscovery-276/1/0100018dc335b931-f58ebea6-67ef-4c70-8014-cbced3479dd0-000000/0Gekjb-tb0PrWygBGCIvaV04WMRKG_NIe940HbSYx9w=340) lived up to its gripping title.

All the while, the rug gets pulled out from under us.
