Wondering if it could be useful to link this discussion with the STS concept of "sociotechnical imaginaries" from Jasanoff:

[sociotechnical imaginaries are] collectively held, institutionally stabilized, and publicly performed visions of desirable futures, animated by shared understandings of forms of social life and social order attainable through, and supportive of, advances in science and technology

From:

Jasanoff, S. (2015). Future imperfect: Science, technology, and the imaginations of modernity. Dreamscapes of modernity: Sociotechnical imaginaries and the fabrication of power, 1-33.

Referenced this in my previous comments here as well.

Another potentially useful reference might be Barbrook & Cameron's "The Californian Ideology" (wiki; link) which I guess I'd position as an earlier articulation & critique of the 90s version of techno-libertarian ideology in SV?

Great idea, I'll fund this a bit and feel free to submit a PR actioning it.
