The computer techies and fresh-faced MBA's are making loads of money in the High-Tech world -- but is there a belief system behind their new found wealth and influence? Paulina Borsook, a former writer for Wired magazine and a long time observer of the ethos of Silicon Valley, suggests that techno-libertarianism is the dominant philosophy of the high-tech world. This outlook prizes entrepreneurship without any government interference as well as free speech on the internet and is shared by a variety of subcultures from cyber-punks to neo-hippies to excecutives. In this biting and fiercely intelligent work, Borsook argues that this philosophy is one that should concern us as it encourages selfishness and an unhealthy and fairly hostile attitude toward government and community.
