CODE IS LAW: How rules of software run our world
Who writes the rules when your bank blocks a transfer, a ride-hail trip surges, or a video vanishes overnight? Code Is Law pulls back the curtain on the lines of text that act like laws in our pockets and on our screens—fast, exacting, and often invisible. Short, clear explanations and everyday examples show how protocols, apps, payment rails, and smart contracts decide access, safety, and money long before a human ever sees the result.
This isn't theory. It's a where these digital rules came from, how simple IF/THENs become sprawling systems, why they fail, and who gets to change them. Readable for curious teens and adults, witty without the fluff, it leaves you literate about the rules that already run the world — and ready to push back when those rules misbehave.

About the author
J.D. Arden
528 books3 followersI’m JD Arden — a writer who believes books should challenge, not comfort. My work explores the invisible frameworks of human life: the myths we inherit, the forces we deny, and the truths we avoid.
From Life’s Unseen Forces to Celestial Conversations, from the Minds & Makers of history to the Great Gods of legend, my books look past surface stories to uncover what actually moves us. Whether it’s superstition, time, science, or ambition, I write about the patterns that shape us long before we notice them.
I don’t pad ideas with filler. Every book is lean, direct, and focused — one subject, one sharp dive. Readers come for clarity, not clutter. My aim is simple: to ask the questions that cut, and to leave you thinking long after the last page.
If you’re drawn to philosophy, history, science, or myth — not in their tidy textbook versions but in their raw, human form — welcome. These books are for those who prefer the rough edges, the uncomfortable insights, and the honest sparks that make us stop and wonder.
