Publisher's summary
There's nothing more interesting than the predictions of how the world will someday end. Many people have contributed various theories as to how this will come about, but none of them are pointing out the obvious: Google is going to be leading the charge toward our demise.
In The Transhuman and Occult Apocalypse: How Google Will Solve the Problem of Humanity, author, podcast host, website publisher, and conspiracy theorist Isaac Weishaupt provides unique foresight into what he sees as what could be the tragic error in integrating too much technology into our daily lives. Something as seemingly innocuous as using a smartphone or search engine could have dastardly consequences as shadowy organizations collect personal data for purposes unknown to us. Isaac provides his theories on what precisely these NSA and other data-mining programs could be used for: the digital hell prepared for us by the occult.

Story
The Dark Path is considered Isaac Weishaupt's magnum opus; a result of many years delving into the recesses of occult dogma from the approach of open-minded rationalism. Isaac's journey started with an attempt to separate religion from conspiracy theories, but the agenda clearly showed a connection. The question to be considered is if the agenda of the Illuminati overlaps with the tenets of the occult and whether or not there is an evil influence at play.

The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

Story
Our increasing reliance on technology and the Internet has opened a window for mathematicians and data researchers to gaze through into our lives. Using the data they are constantly collecting about where we travel, where we shop, what we buy, what interests us, they can begin to predict our daily habits, and increasingly we are relinquishing our decision making to algorithms - are we giving up this up too easily?

Story
Risky Is the New Safe is a different kind of book for a different kind of thinking - a thought-provoking manifesto for risk takers. It will challenge you to think laterally, question premises, and be a contrarian. Disruptive technology, accelerating speed of change, and economic upheaval are changing the game. The same tired, old conventional thinking won’t get you to success today. Risky Is the New Safe will change the way you look at everything!

Story
In the very near future, smart “technologies and big data” will allow us to make large-scale and sophisticated interventions in politics, culture, and everyday life. Technology will allow us to solve problems in highly original ways and create new incentives to get more people to do the right thing. But how will such “solutionism” affect our society, once deeply political, moral, and irresolvable dilemmas are recast as uncontroversial and easily manageable matters of technological efficiency?

Franklin Foer reveals the existential threat posed by big tech, and in his brilliant polemic gives us the toolkit to fight their pervasive influence. Over the past few decades there has been a revolution in terms of who controls knowledge and information. This rapid change has imperiled the way we think. Without pausing to consider the cost, the world has rushed to embrace the products and services of four titanic corporations. We shop with Amazon, socialize on Facebook, turn to Apple for entertainment, and rely on Google for information.

Story
Buying groceries, tracking our health, finding a date: whatever we want to do, odds are that we can now do it online. But few of us ask how all these digital products are designed, or why. It's time we change that. Many of the services we rely on are full of oversights, biases, and downright ethical nightmares. Chatbots that harass women. Signup forms that fail anyone who's not straight. Social media sites that send peppy messages about dead relatives. Algorithms that put more black people behind bars.

Memetics is the science of memes, the invisible but very real DNA of human society. Here, the author carefully builds on the work of scientists Richard Dawkins, Douglas Hofstadter, Daniel Dennett, and others who have become fascinated with memes and their potential impact on our lives.

At a time when Steve Jobs was only a teenager and Mark Zuckerberg wasn't even born, a group of visionary engineers and designers - some of them only high school students - in the late 1960s and 1970s created a computer system called PLATO, which was not only years but light-years ahead in experimenting with how people would learn, engage, communicate, and play through connected computers.

If you cut off a spider's leg, it's crippled; if you cut off its head, it dies. But if you cut off a starfish's leg it grows a new one, and the old leg can grow into an entirely new starfish. The Starfish and the Spider argues that organizations fall into two categories: "spiders", which have a rigid hierarchy, and "starfish", which rely on the power of peer relationships.

On the one hand we aren’t surprised by the uncertainty of everyday life, but on the other we believe that success can be analyzed and planned for. It is a revealing paradox. The implications are explosive and they obliterate every common-sense notion we have about strategy and planning. The Click Moment is about two very simple but highly provocative ideas.

We are living in a world in which cows send texts to farmers when they're in heat, where the most valuable real estate in New York City houses computers, not people, and some of humanity's greatest works are created by crowds, not individuals. We are in the midst of a networking revolution - set to transform the way we access the world's information and the way we connect with one another. Studying biological systems is perhaps the best way to understand such networks, and nature has a lesson for us if we care to listen: Bigger is rarely better in the long run.

Story
Three short years ago, when Chris Brogan and Julien Smith wrote their best seller, Trust Agents, being interesting and human on the Web was enough to build a significant audience. But now, everybody has a platform. The problem is that most of them are just making noise. In The Impact Equation, Brogan and Smith show that to make people truly care about what you have to say - you need more than just a good idea, trust among your audience, or a certain number of followers.

Never disappointed by this author!
I am fascinated by the in-depth research and knowledge Isaac puts into his work. This book gave me a better understanding of Transhuman and the occult. I will continue to read/listen to this author until he stops writing. Thank you Isaac!

Made me open my eyes
This is the Third book of Isaac’s I have read/ listened to. I discovered Issac by searching through Podcasts looking for something on the Subject. I have increasingly noticed that there was a lot more at work in the Entertainment, sports, and Political, spectrums. This peaked my curiosity immensely. So upon finding and listening to many of Issac’s podcasts including the interview with Mark Devlin, I became a Student of his ideas, believer in something more going on , and most of all a fan of his work. I respect his passion, dedication, and his sincerity of his work. I can say that as a 38 year old married man that works as an Electrician, who is a devout Catholic, very involved in the Political process, I feel that I relate to Isaac and feel he is speaking for a large group of us out there that have these thoughts but maybe are not as open because of society or because of our beliefs we have been taught since birth. In closing I am a fan of both the Raw , gritty, writing style and his no bullshit approach to the Subject matter. I will be purchasing another one of his books right after this and mostly enjoy his narration of his books. Thank you Issac. A fan, a believer in your work, and a friend of your message who plans to spread it. Sincerely Joe Redente Jr. joeredentejr9@gmail.com

I just paid to listen to an advertisement for the authors other books.
While it did contain some interesting information, it was nothing that I have not read about before. It became obvious to me early on, that this was nothing more than an advertising pamphlet, it was designed to direct me to purchase the authors other books. I'm a little irritated that I have to pay for that.

Don't Waste Your Money
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I cant call this a book, it was too short and is no more than a audible blog post. One hour does not constitute a book and I feel totally ripped off. There was nothing in this book you could not have found for free on the internet. Too many opinions and very little research.
Has The Transhuman and Occult Apocalypse: How Google Will "Solve the Problem" of Humanity turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, just his books.
What aspect of Isaac Weishaupt’s performance would you have changed?
Not an issue
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger over lack of content and length
Any additional comments?
I want my money/Audible credit back!

Don't waste your time
If you come in to this guy's books with basically any previous knowledge of the topics that fall under the umbrella term "conspiracy theories", you will find nothing new here. His books are more like articles that should have a thread on 4chan or something... Extremely short, lacking in both breadth and depth. All of his works to date should really be combined into a single volume - this would represent the appropriate content size of a typical book. And he spends a good amount of time rehashing and explaining David Icke's work (which, unrelated to this review, is brilliant) as if he assumes his audience too stupid to understand it's meaning on their own -- if i want to know what David Icke has to say, I'm quite capable of reading David Icke's books or watching his lectures! I don't need to spend my precious few federal reserve sham notes on a reader's digest version.
