Your comment made me smile because the book hasn't had a one-star review yet. Maybe you'll get to be the first.

It's not about the reviews on some boomer platform like Amazon/Goodreads. It's about how out of touch this kind of book is. You hit the jackpot in the 2010's and because of that you might get some mainstream press and support from hardcore tech-bros for now but... I think you have no idea how culturally irrelevant (ie. uncool) a book like this is in 2026.
This is like an aerobics VHS in the 2000's. You might still get some sales because of older people... but you're done. You're no longer part of the culture. Get your speaking gigs / paid mailing list subscriptions while you can, I guess, because you'll sell 1/5 of what you sold before (being generous). It's all downhill after this.
Noticed how your HN submission is greyed out because of all the downvotes? That rarely happens in this site.
You should watch The Social Reckoning trailer which just came out. Check out the comments.
