We feature the book “The rise of meritocracy by Michael Young '' with our guest Zoe Samuel and host Arthi Vijayaraghavan. The book is a satire on how the creation of the so-called merit based ruling class will reshape our society in the future. Our guest Zoe is a Venture partner at Starshot capital and she has previously worked at Google. At Google she co-created Anthropocene which supports Google Climate projects such as Project sunroof, Anthro Krishi and many more.
The book presents a historical context of how the merit based society has been shaped through the last century and its impact on the future as well.
