Artificial Intelligence and the Rise of the Meritocracy -- Radical Ecology's Mindfulness -- That Seventies Cult -- Millennial America and the World to Come -- Afterword: The Marketization of Everything.
Subject: "Ideal Minds is equal parts intellectual and literary history of the recent past. Combining ideas from a mix of disciplines, the book also delves into more esoteric branches of learning, like Scientology, anarchist theory, rapture prophesies, psychic channeling, and neo-Malthusianism. The book's central premise is that a dramatic inflation in the value of consciousness and autonomy beginning in the 1970s accompanied a recognition of the state's refusal to safeguard such values."--
