Huge congratulations - and gratitude - to you! Wish I were in SF to buy the rounds.
Epic title, I salute you.
Congratulations
I don't judge books by covers, but I do judge them by their titles, and holy shit this is the best one I've seen in a while. 🤌 (pre-ordering now)
Waiting patiently on a pre-order 🤔
top new release on amazon! just pre ordered today.
Just gotta say that is a fabulous title. The play on words is peak.
I cannot stand a hardback, but exceptions must be made.
Can't wait
Preordered!
CONGRATULATIONS!
Just ordered. Can't wait!
Already pre-ordered.
The better this book sells, the more pressure it will create for the mainstream media to tell people about this threat. Some may deny it or downplay it, but as long as they're talking about it, it's a victory. My goal all along—since long before the book—has been to put this on the radar.
Can I get it delivered in Mexico?
Would love to connect about discussing your book on my podcast.
I love this name. You'll catch a lot of people'd eye with it.
Congratulations!
How do I order this in France (without using Amazon)? Thanks

Amazing title and cover, also read through a bit of your newsletter and this book is on top of my reading list now. Pre-ordered. Congrats on the release.
Congrats Gil. Looking forward to reading.
Done! Thought Bookshop, of course.
Will there be a german edition?
Congratulations! Can’t wait to read it and tell my friends and family. I know a lot of smart, techie people who are not clued into this but would care a lot if they learned more about it.
Ordered!
congrats man
Got my copy on order, though.
Can’t help singing ‘but heaven knows I’m miserable now’ in my head on reading your first line
I’ve just requested that my public library order a copy! (They will—they are very good about that.)
The title sounds like a fun comedy--until you read the subtitle. I'm kind of afraid to read it but I'm glad you wrote it.
Ordered

Done!
Bravo, Gil! Keep fighting the good fight. 👏👏👏

Cant stop seeing the DURAN. DURAN. at the bottom of that picture….
Is an e-book version available? It looks like the kind of book that would be banned in my country.
Congratulations, Gil!

Killer title
Pre-ordered!
Will you be doing an audiobook? I process information better that way, but will probably get a physical copy for reference.
Looking forward to this!
Congratulations, Gil.
It's on order at my library and I'm second in line with a hold
Congratulations! Where can I hear you talk about it? Are you going on any pod casts to promote it?
Looking forward.
Congratulations! I’ve been looking for a new read and your book title alone caught my attention.
Mazel tov!!
Ayyy, I just bought this for the library I work at!
"I was sunning by the pool when the boxes arrived" really sounds like the start of a smiths lyric 😫
just pre-ordered (in australia)
Congratulations!
I’ve now requested it from my local library. Best wishes on the success of your book. I feel like all our futures are riding on it.
Are there already plans for a German translation?
I just requested this from my local library and they're pretty good at procuring my asks. Here's hoping they'll get this one soon.
Nice one gil, glad people are seeing this tech swamp for what it is.
✅
Congratulations!
Will there be an ebook version? Would love to read but can’t oder in US.
Ordered mine from Bookshop. Thanks, Gil. If only more of the country stopped for a minute to understand this and the trifecta deal made for 2024: Heritage, DJT, the tech bros. When DJT is gone, the tech bros still have all the $ and all the tech. Good work here. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
Just ordered. Credit @katestarbird.bsky.social for the repost!
Pre-ordered the audiobook!
Been anticipating this! Will pre order tonight. And make sure my local library system gets a copy or two!
Congratulations
Congratulations! I'm excited to read it! LA public library is the only one of my libraries that shows it's coming so far. There are already dozens of people waiting for both the ebook and the audiobook. In my non-expert opinion, that's a very good sign!
The title alone = take my money sir
Got it!!
Just finished reading Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. Also worth reading 📚
5* rating for the title alone.
On the list.
Preordered here in the Netherlands through Bol com
Done! It is so nice to see a new release having an audiobook option on the release date. I can pre-order an audiobook! Yay.
Can't wait to read it!
Will you be featured as a guest at America at a Crossroads/Jews United For Democracy collaboration anytime soon?
who's pool were you sunning by?
Is your book going to cover the links between Big Tech and privacy-intrusive age verification laws? Can't wait to read it!
Have this on preorder with my local bookshop. An important story that needs highlighting. Best of luck with it.
Available in an audiobook?
It’s a good title!
Congratulations!
Just preordered. They better put it on the DePauw website!
I remember listening to you a year or so ago on Decoder, loving the convo and making a mental note to get this book. Glad I came across this post, ordered!
Having trouble finding an obvious way to preorder the book after opening the link you provided, Gil. Anyone else having this issue?
They chose riches and money instead of ruling power.
Available in French?
Will I be able to buy it in the UK?
Grats on the publication, and kudos for the title.
Nerd Reich😂😱🤮
With ALL the horrible shit going on- I think the thing I am MOST upset about is how the west just decided it was fine to cede cyberspace to the neo-nazis- and have made zero attempts to use that against them.
@gilduran.com 10/10 title
I have a feeling this book will make me angry…and I will read it.
Pre-ordered at Bookshop.org.
Gil, are signed copies going to be available? I'd buy one.
Audible preordered
Gotta say that I love the title!
This was randomly on my feed and I just want to say that’s a fabulous title.
Congrats, Gil. I've been waiting for the release.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💐👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That's got to be the most Nineteen Eighty Four of a post I've seen in a while. Best of luck with the book.
Is your cut of the ebook different than the hard cover? Considering which to preorder
congratulations!
It was biblically foretold. The geeks have inherited the earth.
