Every age has had a master — whoever controlled its scarcest resource. Land built the feudal lord. Capital built the industrialist. Now, in the age of artificial intelligence, a new resource is emerging as the one thing these systems cannot survive without: human-sourced data.
From Feudal Lords to Algorithms traces humanity's long, often brutal history of bargaining for power — from hunter-gatherer bands and the birth of property, through feudal Europe, the age of exploration, the Reformation, and the industrial revolution — to argue that the ordinary person's leverage in the coming decades will not come from halting a factory line, but from recognizing the value of the data created every single day.
Grounded in history and sharpened by current events — from Nobel-laureate economists clashing with the press to billion-dollar AI copyright settlements — this is a rigorously researched, urgently argued case for why the next great social contract is already being written.
A history book, a business book, and a call to awareness — for anyone trying to understand where power is heading next.
