You Will Win The Future (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781733110846)

ENTERING THE FINAL FRONTIER of economic mobility, Shane scores a job in tech. They merge a massively multi-player online video game with an investment fund to buy up property after the Cascadia earthquake. The founders are betting on disaster and as Shane gets exposed to the sociopaths inside the company, he begins to passively rebel--but he's very reluctant to quit. After years of being unable to leverage an indie game he made into a real business, this is his chance to learn. It's an opportunity to move out of his folks' house, and his partner does truly need the company health plan. Wealth is their only protection in 21st century America. And yet Shane would rather help create a platform for digital work with real benefits, social solidarity and mutual aid. Can humankind create a new economy?
