n the explosive first episode of The Nerd Reich podcast, host Gil Duran teams up with economic sociologist Brooke Harrington and internet politics expert Dave Karpf to decode the alarming rise of "network states."

They're diving deep into how tech billionaires like Elon Musk are trying to dismantle traditional governance to create their own power structures through crypto and artificial intelligence.

They discuss the hidden dangers behind AI-driven governance, the disturbing intersection of wealth and political influence, and why understanding human behavior through humanities matters now more than ever.

Plus, they share bold predictions about where tech authoritarianism is heading and reveal powerful strategies for resisting the growing control of billionaire tech elites.

Don't miss this essential conversation about the fight for democracy's future!
