Beskrivning
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A fearless and urgent exposé of technofascism – and a road map to resistance.When Silicon Valley ‘moves fast and breaks things’, the world interprets the chaos as a necessary cost of innovation. Gil Durán reveals something far more sinister afoot: a decades-long campaign to replace elected governments with corporate rule. Drawing on insider political experience and new investigations, Durán traces this ideology from its philosophical roots in The Sovereign Individual 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 algorithmically driven propaganda on social media. The Nerd Reich explains the origins, strategies and ambitions of Silicon Valley’s war on democracy for the first time. From San Francisco’s weaponised elections and secret billionaire projects to the White House, Durán exposes how the world’s richest men are building a new political order. The Nerd Reich is more than a hidden history; it’s an urgent warning: democracy is being dismantled, not by coups or tanks but by code, capital and the illusion of innovation. Durán insists there is still time to fight back – if we act now.Gil Durán, New York Times bestseller, August 2026

Mer om författaren

Gil Durán was born in Tulare, California, the grandson of Mexican immigrant farmworkers. He started his journalism career at the San Jose Mercury News. As the newspaper industry hit turbulence, he pivoted to politics and spent ten years as an adviser to politicians, including Jerry Brown, Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris. In 2018, he returned to journalism as California opinion editor of the Sacramento Bee and then became editorial page editor of the San Francisco Examiner. Now an independent journalist, he publishes two newsletters: The Nerd Reich, focused on extremist tech politics, and FrameLab, focused on political language.

Recensioner i media

‘Durán, a journalist and former political adviser, lays out the narrative in exacting detail, outlining the connections between these men (and it is all men) and the origins of their often deeply weird beliefs, many of which view everyone outside their circle or opposed to their agenda as expendable’

  1. 5/5 Lars

    En intressant genomgång av de tankar och ideer som har format den nuvarande makteliten i Silicon Valley samt deras samhälleliga visioner och ambitioner för mänskligheten i stort.
    Boken är en viktig läsning för de som fortfarande tror på demokrati istället för autokrati.
    Kunskaperna och de fakta som förmedlas i boken ger upphov till frågor som bör ställas till alla ansvariga för utvecklingen i världen.
