In his new book, Gilded Rage, independent journalist in New York Times best-selling author Jacob Silverman

delivers a Syrian expose on the radicalization of Silicon Valley,

a peek behind the curtain at the tech and finance billionaires who are using their money and influence

to steer a radical political revolution.

As he follows men like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel from early days of PayPal in Palo Alto

to Washington, D.C., Silverman uncovers a sinister world where moguls preach populist revolt,

while dismantling the few remaining checks on their influence. This is the book you need to understand

our current political moment and how tech and politics have become dangerously intertwined.

Gilder Bage is available October 7 from Bloomsbury Continuum.

I'm Dave Zyron.

We have a show this week that I am so excited about.

We are going to have part one of a two-part series with two of the three editors

of one of the most challenging boxing books I've read in some time. They are the editors

of Rings of Descent, Boxing and Performances of Rebellion. Terrific stuff.

And this week we're going to talk to David Leonard.

He's one of the three editors.

He's also the author of Playing While White, Privilege and Power on and off the field.

And after our test, an incredible book, The NBA and the Assault on Blackness.

Wow. I mean, he's done some great work for a very long time, and I'm very excited to hear what his politics and history have brought to the story of boxing that he wanted to convey.

And then next week, we're going to talk to Rudy Madragone.

Rudy Mondragon is, I've known Rudy for a while.
