如果世界上最富有、最有權力的人,決定親手拆解民主制度,會發生什麼事?

《鍍金之怒》由《紐約時報》暢銷書作者 雅各.席爾弗曼(Jacob Silverman) 撰寫,帶領讀者深入矽谷那個荒謬卻高風險的權力核心。本書揭示了一群科技億萬富豪如何經歷政治覺醒、逐步激進化,最終走向意識形態極端主義的真實故事。

在長期零利率時代累積龐大財富、沉溺於自身神話的加持下,這些人正開始按照自己的想像重塑世界——而這一切,理應讓所有人感到不寒而慄。

故事的核心人物是 伊隆・馬斯克(Elon Musk)。他對所謂「覺醒心智病毒(woke mind virus)」的執念,讓這位科技創新者轉變為意識形態的十字軍戰士。但馬斯克只是開端。席爾弗曼描繪出一張激進菁英的龐大網絡——從彼得.提爾(Peter Thiel)、JD.范斯(JD Vance),到資助川普重返政治舞台的金融勢力——他們正運用自身的平台與資本,推動一場早已展開的政治革命。

這不只是一本談論科技的書,而是一本關於權力的剖析之作。書中出現資助延壽實驗室、擁抱 AI 末日論的億萬富豪;探討煽動民粹的語言如何導致民主規範被冷酷拆解;並帶領讀者進入那個詭譎又黑色幽默的「科技寡頭世界」——在那裡,自由意志的烏托邦夢想與威權衝動彼此交纏,而對我們生活影響最大的那些人,卻幾乎不需承擔任何責任。

席爾弗曼從舊金山一路追蹤到邁阿密、紐約與華盛頓特區,記錄這場正在改寫規則、甚至與現實本身開戰的運動。憑藉犀利的調查報導與一群極具戲劇性的關鍵人物,《鍍金之怒》是一份緊張、引人入勝且不可或缺的前線紀實。

如果你想理解誰正在試圖掌控未來,以及他們為何這麼做,那麼這正是你必須閱讀的一本書。


PUBLISHERS WEEKLY / FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK 2025. What happens if the world's richest and most powerful men decide to dismantle democracy?
In Gilded Rage, New York Times bestselling author Jacob Silverman takes us inside the surreal, high-stakes world of Silicon Valley. This is the story of the political awakening and radicalization of a cabal of tech billionaires and their descent into ideological extremism. Flush with cash from the zero-interest era, addicted to their own mythology, these men have began reshaping the world in their image -- and it should terrify us all.
At the center is Elon Musk, the mogul whose obsession with the "woke mind virus" has turned him from a tech innovator to an ideological crusader. But Musk is just the beginning. Silverman maps a sprawling network of radicalized elites - from Peter Thiel and JD Vance to the financiers bankrolling Donald Trump's return - who are using their platforms and their money to ensure a political revolution that's already underway.
This is not just a book about tech. It's about power. We meet the billionaires funding life-extension labs and embracing apocalyptic visions of AI. We examine the populist rhetoric that is leading to the ruthless dismantling of democratic norms. And we enter the strange, darkly comic world of the tech-oligarchy where libertarian dreams meet authoritarian impulses, and where the people with the most influence over our lives are the least accountable.
Silverman travels from San Francisco to Miami, New York to DC, following a movement that's rewriting the rules and oftentimes fighting a war against reality itself. With sharp reporting and a cast of extraordinary characters, Gilded Rage is a gripping, essential dispatch from the front lines of the billionaire revolution.
If you want to understand who is trying to control the future, and why, then this is the book you need to read.

各界推薦

Jacob Silverman is one of the sharpest and most plugged-in tech commentators working today. He understands subcultures, politics and the internet. He can tell you what's in the black box, and what it's doing to our society. Gilded Rage is unmissable. -- Hari Kunzru, Writer and Journalist, author of 'Gods without Men', 'White Tears' and 'Red Pill'

In Gilded Rage, Jacob Silverman delivers a clear-eyed anatomy of tech-addled delusion that has stubbornly eluded our media and political establishment for more than thirty years. Along the way, he recounts how the libertarian ethos of Silicon Valley has curdled into a frontal assault on our democracy. -- Chris Lehmann, DC Bureau Chief of The Nation and the author of 'The Money Cult'

A book that should trouble your dreams. -- Kirkus Reviews

Silverman makes a convincing case for how tech became radicalized. By grounding his argument in money rather than red-pilling, he avoids fixating on the many outrageous social media posts of Musk and others, and instead offers a plausible explanation for why so many of Trump's most powerful allies in tech (including Musk and Andreessen) once presented themselves as moderate Democrats. -- Bloomberg

Tech reporter Silverman's sharp and ominous account delves into the radicalizing worldviews of Silicon Valley billionaires in the lead-up to Donald Trump's reelection, and warns of a fusion of corporate and state power through which tech titans seek to enact undemocratic agendas. It's an essential unmasking of the growing extremism among America's wealthy. -- Publishers Weekly

lively and provocative -- Financial Times
