Limitless: Silicon Valley and the End of the World

By Benjamin R. Teitelbaum

The Politics of the New Tech Right: libertarianism, eugenics and the End of the World

Limitless is the first comprehensive analysis of the intellectual foundations driving the "tech right". At the inauguration of President Trump in January 2025, the lords of Silicon Valley crowded the podium, but these tech giants do not necessary represent the same politics nor do they share the same vision of power. Benjamin Teilelbaum has been researching, interviewing and challenging these figures for over a decade and can reveal what they really think, lifting the lid on the dangerous future they have in mind for us all.

At the movement's intellectual core are four unlikely philosophers:
WWII German jurist Carl SchmittFrench scholar Ren GirardItalian futurist Filippo Marinetti Contemporary theorist Giorgio Agamben
From these thinkers, figures like Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, JD Vance, and Elon Musk derive a lethal worldview that melds transhumanism, cryptocurrency, and space exploration into one. Teitelbaum exposes the profound contradiction within this new politics of exit: withdrawal from citizenship, national currencies, even language itself. Yet the moment they establish new territories, they recreate everything they fled: replicating it not to improve the lives of the many, but for their own benefit.
