US Author Gil Durán warns that Silicon Valley “billionaires have enough money to buy both sides" in any US election. In his book „The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy,“ Durán pieces together public statements from powerful tech investors like Peter Thiel that amount to a chilling attack on democracy as we know it. Durán criticizes both Republicans and Democrats for refusing to take on the big money in tech.
