A lot of why these tech leaders go wrong is due to a techno-utopianist ideology which assumes that if bad is happening in the world it is always only because people don't have the technology needed to do good. This in turn rests on some very mistaken ideas about why humans behave in good or bad ways. That is in turn due in part to the great influence Ayn Rand's crackpot ideas have had on technologists. The books Naughton recommends are much more realistic.
