Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires is a nonfiction social critique by Douglas Rushkoff that examines how a small group of extremely wealthy technology leaders imagine surviving a future collapse they believe is coming. The book grows out of Rushkoff’s account of being invited to speak to billionaires who were less interested in innovation than in bunkers, escape routes, Mars colonies, and other forms of insulation from social and environmental breakdown. Rather than treating these fantasies as eccentric details, Rushkoff uses them to analyze a broader worldview he calls The Mindset: a belief that wealth, systems design, and technology can place some people outside the consequences faced by everyone else. The book connects these survival fantasies to the history of extraction, monopoly power, and techno-utopian thinking. It is both an indictment of Silicon Valley’s crisis logic and a defense of interdependence, mutual aid, and collective responsibility as the only realistic foundations for the future.
