Barnes & Noble names "The Nerd Reich" a top 2026 business book

Original: Barnes & Noble, Inc.named my book a "Best Business Book of 2026." I never thought of "The Nerd Reich" as a business book

Author Gil Duran says Barnes & Noble has named his book "The Nerd Reich" one of its Best Business Books of 2026. He admits he never set out to write a business book, but argues the label fits: the book tells the story of what he calls a cult of apocalyptic billionaires who believe it is their destiny to destroy democracy. Reviewers have called the work "transfixing."

Why now: The unexpected categorisation of a book about billionaires and democracy as a business title is drawing attention to its warning about tech elites.
