Paperback. In a world where algorithms increasingly decide who gets a loan, a job, or a voice, the nature of authority is being radically rewritten. Modern Power explores the shifting landscape of control, tracing the evolution of influence from the ruthless autocracy of Henry VIII to the digital panopticon of the 21st century.Author and entrepreneur, Dixon Jones draws on historical parallels and contemporary case studies to reveal how today's "Controllers of the Code"unnamed, unelected tech titanswield a form of structural advantage that rivals the monarchs of old. The book identifies five pillars of traditional powermilitary, economic, political, religious, and socialand examines how artificial intelligence is currently being grafted onto each to accelerate the concentration of wealth and surveillance.Beyond mere analysis, this book is a project of "self-enlightenment" for anyone who fears becoming a footnote in a machine-led journey.

From the throne rooms of Tudor England to the server farms of Silicon Valley, the tools of control have always evolved faster than our understanding of them. Henry VIII ruled through fear, spectacle, and a monopoly on the truth. Today's "Controllers of the Code" - the unnamed, unelected architects of the algorithms that decide who gets a loan, a job, or a voice - wield a strikingly similar kind of power. The difference is scale. And speed.
In Power in the Modern World, entrepreneur and technologist Dixon Jones draws on thirty years inside the machine - SEO, AI, and the platforms that quietly shape what billions of people see, believe, and buy - to map exactly how power really works today. He traces it across five ancient pillars - military, economic, political, religious, and social - and shows how artificial intelligence is being grafted onto every one of them, accelerating the concentration of wealth and surveillance into fewer and fewer hands.
This isn't a book that diagnoses the problem and leaves you there. It's a working playbook for individuals, families,and small businesses who want to stay free in a world designed to make their choices for them:
- Build defensible positions - the human skills like empathy and judgment that no machine can replicate
- Decentralize - using blockchain, DAOs, and local tribes to route around centralized gatekeepers
- Read the algorithm in the room - so you can spot the financial and ethical traps built into modern platforms before they close around you
Whether you're a small business owner navigating automation, a parent thinking about raising children in a world of constant data collection, a history reader fascinated by the parallels between Tudor autocracy and modern surveillance states, or simply someone who senses that individual liberty is being quietly renegotiated without a vote - this book was written for you.
You won't find empty tech-panic here. You'll find a clear map of how power actually moves today, drawn by someone who has spent his career inside the search engines, AI tools, and platforms doing the moving - and a genuinely useful set of tools for staying free inside a system built to make your choices for you.
Part history, part warning, part survival guide - Power in the Modern World is for anyone who suspects they're a character in someone else's story, and would like their agency back.
