The End of Reality is a sharp exposé of how four billionaires—Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Marc Andreessen—are selling fantasy futures through the metaverse, crypto, space travel, and transhumanism. Jonathan Taplin reveals how these ventures distract from pressing global issues like income inequality, climate change, and democratic decline, while benefiting the ultra-wealthy. Combining investigative insight with cultural analysis, this book critiques their power and proposes a vision for a sustainable, equitable society grounded in regenerative economics.
