So @ChicagoWaddup , my amazing team member at vcinfodocs, did this interview with The Insight, focused on political developments in Africa.
They talk about mining, healthcare, drones and weapons in Nigeria, and the role of venture capital.

Vcinfodocs just dropped our giant report on venture capital backed weapons startups

i've been sitting with this all day to adequately formulate my thoughts. yes, shanley should be credited for her contributions/analysis/work & ALSO, this is a crucial fight & we need serious analysis & people who can't cite properly &/or steal ideas aren't capable of providing it
This August, "Nerd Reich" was published by Avid Reader Press, capitalizing on dissent to tech fascism.
It became a bestseller. But it took the work of activists without credit or citation. And buried the real story.
Receipts. Evidence. Timestamps.

Shanley Kane was writing about tech fascism years before The Nerd Reich. So why is her work missing from the conversation around the book?
Who gets cited, whose ideas reach mainstream audiences, and whose work gets left out? Give credit where it’s due.

The men stealing original work. Ha! Does it surprise you? No. It just disappoints.

Gil Duran discovered Silicon Valley fascism the way Columbus discovered America: someone else had already been there. Shanley Kane did the groundwork; The Nerd Reich just made the destination more marketable.
The Nerd Reich by Gil Duran: a book about the dangers of intellectual conformity, written in an internet culture where apparently even the originality allegations need footnotes.
Shanley Kane deserves a spot in the acknowledgements at this point.
