<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.
