Summary
Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor headline the latest Radical Thinking episode, with Aditya Chakrabortty linking listeners to the full interview and their new book End Times Fascism.
The episode expands into a reading list on Trump’s second term, tech power and authoritarian politics, including works by Branko Milanović, Quinn Slobodian, Ben Tarnoff and Paul Heideman.
4 more recommendations focus on Silicon Valley and AI—Karen Hao’s Empire of AI, Gil Durán’s The Nerd Reich, Yanis Varoufakis’s Technofeudalism and Cecilia Rikap’s The Rulers.
The package frames the podcast less as breaking news than as a guide to current debates over fascism, business support for Trump and corporate control in the AI era.
