"I've followed technology, and politics, for decades. But I found a tremendous amount of new information and insight in 'The End of Reality.' Anyone interested in where culture is headed, and how democracy can survive, will want to read this book."-James Fallows, author of Breaking the News
“Once again, Jonathan Taplin has cut to the core of the heartless techno-oligargy. If names like Musk, Thiel and Zuckerberg only cause you distress, Taplin’s careful expose will move you to outrage, though with hope that the hyper-barons can be curbed.”-Sean Wilentz, author of The Rise of American Democracy
“There is so much nourishment in his book, so much provocative thinking, so much vivid writing, so much thought that went into the book’s vast menu, that by the final page the reader is left in awe. Taplin is a delightful iconoclast and a daring thinker.”—Ken Auletta, author of Hollywood Ending: Harvey Weinstein and the Culture of Silence
“A wake-up call as to what happens when a society elevates people who don’t have the public’s best interests in mind. Taplin has a gift for storytelling that turns the bitter pill (reality check) into a fascinating read.” —Scott Galloway, NYU Stern professor of marketing and bestselling author of Adrift
