<b>Who really rules our future? </b><br/><br/>When Silicon Valley says it is 'moving fast and breaking things', the world interprets the chaos as a necessary cost of innovation. Gil Duran reveals something far more sinister: a decades-long campaign to replace elected governments with corporate rule.<br/><br/>Drawing on insider political experience and new investigations, Duran traces this ideology from its philosophical roots in <i>The Sovereign Individual</i> by James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg. He introduces its modern apostles - Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Balaji Srinivasan and Elon Musk - and shows how the promise of technological liberation has transformed into a global movement for digital feudalism, powered by cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence and the algorithmic propaganda of social media.<br/><br/><i>The Nerd Reich</i> explains the origins, strategies and ambitions of Silicon Valley's war on democracy for the first time. From San Francisco's manipulated elections and secret billionaire projects to the corridors of Downing Street and the White House, Duran exposes how the world's richest men are building a new political order.

<b>PRE-ORDER NOW! </b><br/><br/><b>One queen exiled. Another headed for the gallows. Both hungry for revenge. England's most infamous queens unite in vengeance against Henry VIII. </b><br/><br/>Anne Boleyn is going to die, and neither her cleverness nor her witchery can save her.<br/><br/> So when her late rival, Catalina de Aragon, miraculously appears in her cell at the Tower of London on the eve of her execution, very much alive and offering a daring escape plan, no one is more surprised than Anne.<br/><br/>Lina doesn't have Anne's magic-but she has just as much hate for England's wretched king. Severed from her daughter and stripped of all her influence, Lina breathes only for the Hellebore Sisterhood, a clandestine and powerful society with a vested interest in keeping both queens alive...and using their particular skills to advance womankind.<br/><br/>Anne and Lina's old rivalries pale in comparison to a common enemy. One by one, they capture their pawns, infiltrating the court, recruiting the new queens in Henry's orbit, and eliminating the men who plotted against them. Always inching closer to their true target...<br/><br/><b>And they want his head.</b><br/><br/><b>--</b><br/><br/><b>Praise for <i>Henry Tudor Must Die</i>:</b><br/><br/><b>"Sharp, emotional, and deeply relevant</b>, Jillian Laine's debut tells the story of <b>queens reclaiming their power.</b> Read this book if you love stories about <b>sisterhood, magic, and a witty 'what if?</b>"-Jodi Meadows, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling co-author of<i> My Lady Jane<br/><br/></i><br/><i>"Henry Tudor Must Die</i> is<b> unlike anything I have ever read</b>! <b>Fiercely feminist,</b> with a<b> secret society of women</b>, <b>witchcraft </b>and <b>court politics</b> and <b>schemes.</b>"-Naina Kumar, <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author<br/><br/>"<b>Hell hath no fury like a woman who survives her own beheading.</b> Henry Tudor Must Die is an<b> exquisite declaration of female rage, sisterhood, </b>and what it takes to stand against the abuse of power in a deeply unjust world."-Emily Krempholtz, <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author of <i>Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore</i><br/><br/>"A <b>rambunctious romp of a book</b>. <b>Revenge is a dish best served with a side of Henry Tudor's head</b> and I loved every minute of watching his capable wives come together to sharpen their swords." -A.
