Just ordered it.

Woo hoo congratulations happy to have helped!!

Reading now

Ok I don't know anything about this but best title ever.

Congratulations, Gil!!! 🏆👏Great news! Hoping my copy arrives tomorrow! I’m stoked to get started on it. Thanks for putting in the work, my friend.

Wow. Congratulations, I hope it sells out and is widely read and understood!

man- those tech bros are DORKs , not nerds

I bought your book last night, the Kindle version. Look forward to reading it.

congratulations!!

nice ⭐

Bravo to you, for your hard work & contribution to truth

Congrats!

I listened to the book. Excellent audio!

The title alone is enough to sell it. I'm not surprised. @marymcnamara.bsky.social

You held my attention on the thom Hartman show this week , august 25, 2026. These billionaires are delusional and even before they became morbidly rich. The general public needs to realize this that they are immoral.

My hardcover copy is on the way.

Congratulations Gil! I had no doubt you would knock it outta the park! Believe me my friend you’re more than a writer with a laptop. You are a serious person and as a proud father of 3 men, a gentleman to boot! Sky’s the limit my friend! America needs people like you more than ever!

On chapter 7 now, this book is a powerhouse! Well done!

We’re doing a reading group and I can’t wait for my copy to arrive. Congratulations. And thank you.

There are a lot of things journalists don't get.

Some people on X have reported being successful in getting their bans lifted if they put their appeals in Hebrew language. Can you go and investigate whether it's the case? www.reddit.com/r/twitterhel... www.reddit.com/r/facebook/c...

Thank you!

@gilduran.com Question - I about to order it, but not sure about the format. Have you written/excerpted a magazine article length introduction to the topic that I could consider assigning to students? Would your chapter 1 work (& thus hardback copy), or could you point me to something appropriate?

Uh, maybe.

The best name for a book I’ve seen in years.

Congrats! Waiting for my copy in the mail. Hopefully by Friday, so my weekend reading!

I listened to your interview on NPR. www.npr.org/2026/08/10/n...

I’m partway through chapter two and have already had several OOOOhhhhhhhh… riiiight kind of connect the dots moments.

I’m late to the fantastic news… congrats!

FANTASTIC!

Congratulations!

👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wonderful Gil, congratulations! I have it ordered from my library.

Go get 'em, Gil!

Just finished reading it. Excellent. The investment class is full of freakish loons.

The introduction scared the shit out of me. Will see how it goes. It may take me a long time to read.

‘The Nerd Reich,’ is a must read, ‘wake-up’ call. Kudos to you for pulling this together. Congratulations, Mr. Duran.

Fantastic book - initially borrowed from library but just purchased from @libro.fm

The book title is perfection.

Great read! Recommended highly.

Bravo!!

I ordered a copy after watching one of recent interviews. The book store has emailed to say both themselves and their supplier are sold out - so well done!

cc @ryanhisner.bsky.social maybe interested in this

Just cracked it open today..

Keep up the pressure You're heroic and you need to get paid!

Imagine how it felt to write it! Spending a lot of time by the pool these days

(update) BIL also found it compelling. His copy has now been handed off to my great nephew who’s psyched and ready to dive in.

Queen Elonia says it's interesting ♥️

My nominee for book of the year. Congratulations!

apparently “Nerd Reich” is a nickname that has been used in tech to describe these fascists for years...

Congratulations

Bless you for doing the necessary thing. 🫡

The Coors family. Now think about all the dumb fuckin assholes who drink coors light and fund these wannabe Hitlers...

Thanks for reading!

Alhamdiluallah, mazel tov, felicidades, parabéns, félicitations, comhghairdeas, pozdravlyayu and every other language you can think of!

I’ve been “enjoying” the audiobook. 🫠

Started it on the bus today!

Thanks!

Great title! Beats the hell out of the term techno-fascism.

It’s a good read. Very insightful, and troubling. Really helped me understand the connections between Yarvin, Thiel, Musk, Vance, Andreessen, and Trump world.

Good on you

Oh, my preorder is here! Thanks for the alert.

Vintage artesanal audio.

Really looking forward to reading this.

I've got it on hold at the library - and there's a waiting list!

Thanks. YouTube backed off and we're still up.

I would treasure the visit to Patchett ‘s book store. Hope to plan my future travels near Nashville, TN @littlepig1.bsky.social

The Dems didn't get enough support to save anything. Learn the lesson.

Fabulous 📚

the funny part is that these believers did, like, copy-paste with a mistake the political project of the original book, in the exact process that Naomi Klein discussed in Doppelganger - living in the mirror-world described by the book, self-intoxicated also I guess from the internet filter-bubbles

it's fine, I found a bookshop with it in Germany, comes around September

Have been recommending it to everyone- friends, smart young lifeguard/history major at community pool, financial advisor, random guy in NYC who saw me carrying it and was intrigued by the title… Amazing work that fills in a lot of gaps!

the eggheads in silicon valley are going to be sooo mad

My copy was delivered today! 👍

It'll be a while til I get to read it (I'm #13 on the wait list in Christchurch, New Zealand) but thought you might be interested knowing how widely its being read

Bought it on Libro.fm 💪💪💪

I saw you on Free Speech TV. Amy was interviewing you. It was very interesting. Now I need to go buy your book. Thanks for the reminder.

Congrats Gil! I’m just finishing Empire of AI by @karenhao.bsky.social . As much as I can’t wait to read NR too I feel like maybe I should pause a bit before I overdose on too much Tech Reckoning porn

Damn straight, Gil, let's rip these Tech Billionaires off their pinche thrones! Ándale, güey!

that was an “interesting” chapter. Entitled, Arrogant and Ignorant of the fact that just because you are good at some things doesn’t mean you are good at everything. But being ignorant keeps you focused on the things you’re good at with gigantic blind spots where you lack, like in his case…. people

Ordered my copy yesterday!

Preordered one shortly after your @majorityreport.bsky.social interview. Fast forward to a week ago, saw you post about your book coming out, and I ended up pre-ordering a 2nd one, completely forgetting about the 1st. Happy mistake, and I will be grooming someone to hate Thiel and Musk this Xmas.

Unemployed guy with a best seller!!! 😉 Congratulations! 🫡😎

Congrats! Happy to have you on @thefirethesetimes.com to talk about it

Finally got my copy, and I’m about 2/3 through. Wow, what an eye-opener! I was somewhat familiar with some of the story, but seeing the whole thing explained is even crazier than I imagined.

Fantastic, congrats!

Reading and it’s good

Fantastic! 💙✌️

Waiting for my hard copy to arrive 🚚

Congrats!📚

Started it today!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Yes. Great timing. Great title. Hope it’s the hole they fall into.

Congrats! Very, very, very well deserved.

Congrats, nerd.

Tip of the hat to you, mate!

Great title! I’ll make it my next read.

Thanks for reading!

right there with you, 1/2 through the book. Gil spelled out the history of fascist inclinations in SV, the false prophets, the empty souls, psychotic & delusional desire for power, the way the tech bros & GOP came together, it is all playing out in real time. Fascinating, Scary & Infuriating.
