From the throne rooms of Tudor England to the server farms of Silicon Valley, the tools of control have always evolved faster than our understanding of them. Henry VIII ruled through fear, spectacle, and a monopoly on the truth. Today's "Controllers of the Code" - the unnamed, unelected architects of the algorithms that decide who gets a loan, a job, or a voice - wield a strikingly similar kind of power. The difference is scale. And speed.
In Power in the Modern World, entrepreneur and technologist Dixon Jones draws on thirty years inside the machine - SEO, AI, and the platforms that quietly shape what billions of people see, believe, and buy - to map exactly how power really works today. He traces it across five ancient pillars - military, economic, political, religious, and social - and shows how artificial intelligence is being grafted onto every one of them, accelerating the concentration of wealth and surveillance into fewer and fewer hands.
This isn't a book that diagnoses the problem and leaves you there. It's a working playbook for individuals, families,and small businesses who want to stay free in a world designed to make their choices for them:
- Build defensible positions - the human skills like empathy and judgment that no machine can replicate
- Decentralize - using blockchain, DAOs, and local tribes to route around centralized gatekeepers
- Read the algorithm in the room - so you can spot the financial and ethical traps built into modern platforms before they close around you
Whether you're a small business owner navigating automation, a parent thinking about raising children in a world of constant data collection, a history reader fascinated by the parallels between Tudor autocracy and modern surveillance states, or simply someone who senses that individual liberty is being quietly renegotiated without a vote - this book was written for you.
You won't find empty tech-panic here. You'll find a clear map of how power actually moves today, drawn by someone who has spent his career inside the search engines, AI tools, and platforms doing the moving - and a genuinely useful set of tools for staying free inside a system built to make your choices for you.
Part history, part warning, part survival guide - Power in the Modern World is for anyone who suspects they're a character in someone else's story, and would like their agency back.

Description de la boutique
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
