The third book is one I think is really special. It's called against tech oligarchy by JS 10 and Clarissa Radwine. And both of them were organizers within tech companies in Silicon Valley.
Why people recommend it
Against Tech Oligarchy by JS Tan and Clarissa Redwine is a nonfiction book exploring the internal dynamics and socio-political impacts of major technology companies. On The Ezra Klein Show episode titled Elon Musk’s Endgame, broadcast on October 30, 2026, Quinn Slobodian recommended the book to listeners. Slobodian singled out the work as a particularly special contribution to the literature on the modern tech sector. To support his recommendation, he highlighted the unique background and firsthand experience of the authors, noting that both JS Tan and Clarissa Redwine had previously worked as internal organizers within major technology companies located in Silicon Valley. Because the authors spent time on the ground organizing workers inside these massive corporate structures, the book provides an insider perspective on the labor practices, corporate governance, and political power dynamics shaping the contemporary technology industry. Slobodian pointed to their grassroots organizing background as a key reason the book offers vital insights into the realities of working within tech oligopolies, grounding its critical analysis in authentic lived experience rather than purely theoretical observation.
