<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.

Aisling Cathedral is in ruins. Rodrick Myndacious, Bartholomew and Maude Bauer are rumored to be dead - and the king has taken Sybil Delling as his bride. To show off their union and solidify his power over Traum, Benji proposes a series of tournaments throughout the hamlets. Captive and drugged, Sybil remains determined to vanquish him as she once did the Omens, even if she destroys the kingdom's faith - and herself - in the process. But then a mysterious knave rises to the top of the lists, a man with no name and no memory who may just be Sybil's ticket to undoing Benji's power. For in a land where stories repeat themselves, where a king can prove as cruel as a god, the only way to truly destroy the Stonewater Kingdom's faith is to save it.

Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner. In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum's windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams. Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil's visions. But when Sybil's fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral's cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she'd rather avoid Rodrick's dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.
