""Da Empoli issues a warning from history, that the Borgia poisoners are back as tech bros, creating a digital Somalia, and, worse, an AI future where the machines will rule humanity while democratic politics is nowt more than a gimp in a gimp suit. Brilliant, acidly witty, terrifying."" —John Sweeney
