Californian Ideology – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
“The Californian Ideology is a name given by two authors to a set of beliefs combining bohemian and anti-authoritarian attitudes from the counterculture of the 1960s with techno-utopianism and support for neoliberal economic policies. These beliefs are thought by some to have been characteristic of the culture of the IT industry in Silicon Valley and the West Coast of the United States during the dot-com bubble of the 1990s.”
I’d say that it’s more like simulacra of bohemian and anti-authoritarian attitudes. Silicon Valley “culture” has always struck me as deeply bourgeois and conventional, given to groupthink (ie avoidance of “negative” people), and sharing many triumphalist and millennialist attitudes with religious fundamentalists.
