America’s Secret Technofacist Overlord, with Max Chafkin

America’s Secret Technofacist Overlord, with Max Chafkin

You’ve almost certainly heard Peter Thiel’s name. You very likely even have an opinion about him. But how much do you actually know about him? One of the most powerful people in America is also one of the most secretive, because that lack of public visibility gives him much more room to exercise a scary amount of control over our country. This week, Adam gets the in-depth scoop on Peter Thiel with Bloomberg Business Week reporter Max Chafkin, who recently authored the book The Contrarian: Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley's Pursuit of Power.
