In “End Times Fascism,” Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor make the case that the ruling class is not lording over our future, but trying to escape it. When the richest people on the planet speak of the end of the world, are they bluffing?

If labor wants to slow AI’s theft of wages and data, they should push for collective agreements with data rights: limits on biometric capture, use-rights for workers’ likenesses and voices, and protections against algorithmic management.
