Overview

Dystopia is already real: this is the new architecture of power. Democracy does not always die by force. Sometimes it disappears in silence, wrapped in promises of efficiency, security, and technological progress. Global Techno-Absolutism names an emerging political model that brings together authoritarianism, economic libertarianism, social ultraconservatism, and an almost messianic faith in technology-especially artificial intelligence-as a tool of governance and social re-engineering. The book explores the genealogy of this dystopia: from radical individualism and the philosophies of rational egoism, metapolitics, hyperstition, and the Dark Enlightenment to their practical translation into corporate and political power. It shows how a form of technocratic authoritarianism is emerging that does not need to formally abolish democracy to empty it of substance. In this context, the European Union becomes a primary target-not because of its weaknesses, but because it represents a legal brake on unchecked technological power and a commitment to liberal democracy, the social market economy, and human rights. Global Techno-Absolutism is a study of dynamics already operating in the present and, at the same time, a call for pro-European democratic resistance, grounded in the conviction that the future is not inevitable.
