'Disconcerting . . . a disturbing and important book' NEW SCIENTIST

'Smart and wonderfully readable' NEW YORK TIMES

The bad science and sinister ideas behind Silicon Valley's foolish obsession with immortality, AI paradise and limitless growth.

Tech billionaires have decided that they should determine our futures for us. According to Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman and more, the only good future for humanity is one powered by technology: trillions of humans living in space, functionally immortal, served by superintelligent AIs.

In More Everything Forever, scientist and writer Adam Becker investigates these wildly implausible and often profoundly immoral visions of tomorrow to reveal why, in reality, there is no good evidence that they will, or should, come to pass. The giants of Silicon Valley claim that their ideas are based on science, but the truth is darker: they come from a jumbled mix of shallow futurism and racist pseudoscience. And behind these fanciful visions of space colonies and digital immortality is a cynical power grab, at the expense of essential work spent on solving real problems like the climate crisis.

More Everything Forever exposes the powerful myths that dominate Silicon Valley, challenging us to see how foolish, and dangerous, these visions of the future are.

Industry Reviews

An important book as well as a good one. A really significant contribution to our discussion of the future . . . Becker's book is very entertaining as it exposes how the emperor has no clothes

With a wild and utterly engaging narrative, Becker gives us a refreshing reality check on the fantasies of billionaires, futurists and utilitarian philosophers who are plotting to "optimize" the future of humanity. A fascinating expose

I love this book. Becker has become our greatest prophet of doom

Our world has fallen into the clutches of billionaires who mistake dystopian science-fiction stories for suggestions, rather than warnings. Speaking in my capacity as a dystopian science-fiction writer, I can confirm that this isn't merely very stupid, it's also very, very bad

Dismantles the toxic techno-optimism endemic in Silicon Valley and outlines why the most pressing problems society faces can't be solved with technology alone. The book is a must-read for understanding why the visions of the future promoted by today's techno-oligarchs are built on pseudoscience and far-fetched fantasies mixed

with racism, eugenics, and colonialism . . . More Everything Forever feels particularly urgent and timely as billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos vie for political power
