Cyberselfish: A Critical Romp through the Terribly Libertarian Culture of High Tech

《Cyberselfish》預見了一種文化的警訊：極度缺乏同理心、強烈反對監管、對電腦比對人更感到舒適，且出奇地無知。考慮到這個群體或許是歷史上獲得政府對科技與擴張最大單一補助的受益者，這種立場著實令人諷刺。但這也是一種相信艾茵・蘭德（Ayn Rand）與股東價值理論的文化，其行為舉止彷彿隱私權根本不屬於小市民。
博蘇克（Borsook）預見到，一旦科技業躍升至財務成功的新高峰，掌權者就會認為自己在某一領域的成就應該轉化為在其他領域更大的權力與影響力。如今，隨著科技巨頭更加深入地滲透到社會的方方面面，博蘇克的洞察比起她當時所能想像的更具普遍適用性。但是，如果塑造公共政策的人對歷史或政治學一無所知，甚至最重要的是，不知道如何與其他人互動，結果會如何？《Cyberselfish》指出，這才是宅男/極客（nerds）真正的復仇。
Cyberselfish saw the warning signs about a culture violently lacking in compassion, tremendously opposed to regulation, more comfortable with computers than people, and surprisingly ignorant. An ironic position, given this cohort was perhaps the single biggest recipient of the greatest government subsidy of technology and expansion in history. But it is also a culture that believes in Ayn Rand and the stockholder theory of value and acts as if privacy isn't for the Little People.

Borsook foresaw that once tech boomed to new heights of financial success, those at the helm would feel their achievement in one sphere should result in greater power and influence in others. Today, as titans of the tech world have inserted themselves even further into all aspects of society, Borsook’s insights have become more universally applicable than even she could have imagined. But what will result if the people who shape public policy know nothing about history or political science or, most importantly, how to interact with other humans? Cyberselfish posits this is the true revenge of the nerds.
