In the long shadow of Silicon Valley
Once dismissed as an eccentric Silicon Valley subculture, neoreactionary thought has begun to surface at the highest levels of western political debate.

The transnational creep of neoreactionary thought reveals a growing alignment between anti-liberal currents on both sides of the Atlantic.
