Gil Durán, _The Nerd Reich_ (Avid Reader Press/ Simon & Schuster, 2026-08-18)

https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Nerd-Reich/Gil-Duran/9781668221402

ISBN13: 9781668221402

>> A fearless and urgent chronicle of the tech-authoritarian movement from its early days in San Francisco politics to its current moment on the international stage, exploring the wild and dystopian ambition of the technocrats at its center, and offering a road map to resistance.

>> When Silicon Valley says it is ‘‘moving fast and breaking things,’’ the world interprets the chaos as a necessary cost of innovation. Gil Durán reveals something far more sinister: a decades-long campaign to replace elected governments with corporate rule.

>> _The Nerd Reich_ is more than a hidden history, it’s an urgent warning: democracy is being dismantled not by coups or tanks, but by code, capital, and the illusion of innovation. Durán insists there is still time to fight back—if we act now.

Ghassan Kanafani (translated from Arabic by Tarif Khalidi), _Palestinian Resistance Literature Under Occupation: 1948 – 1968_ (Verso Books, 2026)

>> In the two decades following the #Nakba, Palestinian writers undertook the gruelling task of advancing a cultural struggle to protect their language, culture, and heritage. In addition to Kanafani’s groundbreaking essay, the book includes a selection of poetry, prose, and dramatic writing curated by #GhassanKanafani himself. Alongside writing from Mahmoud Darwish, Hanna Abu Hanna, and Samih al-Qasim, among many others, Kanafani’s essay and the accompanying pieces stand as a defiant declaration of cultural survival in the wake of Israeli expansion.
