What happens when Project 2025, Silicon Valley, and AI collide?

In this Nerd Reich Mailbag episode, host Gil Duran sits down with Brooke Harrington (author of "Offshore: Stealth Wealth and The New Colonialism) and Adam Becker (author of "More Everything Forever") to answer listener questions about authoritarianism, AI power, and the new tech-driven assault on democracy.

🔥 Topics include:

• How Project 2025 was planned like a “war against America”
• The rise of the Tech Right — Musk, Thiel, and the Silicon Valley elite
• How AI and algorithms are reshaping politics and power
• The “Dark Enlightenment” and the anti-human turn in tech
• Why dystopian science fiction was supposed to be a warning — not a blueprint

This episode is part political analysis, part cultural autopsy — and a call to understand how authoritarianism is accelerating in the digital age.
