The dark horse of the New World Order is not Communism, Socialism or Fascism. It is Technocracy. With meticulous detail and an abundance of original research, Patrick M. Wood uses Technocracy Rising to connect the dots of modern globalization in a way that has never been seen before so that the reader can clearly understand the globalization plan, its perpetrators and its intended endgame. In the heat of the Great Depression during the 1930s, prominent scientists and engineers proposed a utopian energy-based economic system called Technocracy that would be run by those same scientists and engineers instead of elected politicians. Although this radical movement lost momentum by 1940, it regained status when it was conceptually adopted by the elitist Trilateral Commission (co-founded by Zbigniew Brzezinski and David Rockefeller) in 1973 to be become its so-called "New International Economic Order." In the ensuing 41 years, the modern expression of Technocracy and the New International Economic Order is clearly seen in global programs such as Agenda 21, Sustainable Development, Green Economy, Councils of Governments, Smart Growth, Smart Grid, Total Awareness surveillance initiatives and more. Wood contends that the only logical outcome of Technocracy is Scientific Dictatorship, as already seen in dystopian literature such as Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (1932) and Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell (1948), both of whom looked straight into the face of Technocracy when it was still in its infancy. With over 250 footnotes, an extensive bibliography and clarity of writing style, Wood challenges the reader to new levels of insight and understanding into the clear and present danger of Technocracy, and how Americans might be able to reject it once again.
While Patrick Wood has written an interesting and well documented account of what he sees as technocracy, the book to me is flawed because of a glaring omission. The omission is that there is no mention made of Israel or the powerful influence of the Jewish lobby over United States politics. This book will not antagonise the ADL (Anti Defamation League) in any way. Clearly technocracy and Zionism are nowadays intertwined. Israel is deeply involved in the sort of technology that is central to making technocratic control a reality and yet Patrick Wood has nothing to say about this. He has peered down the rabbit hole but it would appear he not peered far enough.
"The newly reinvented system of governance puts its emphasis on implementing regulations rather than on enforcing laws. If legal obstacles are encountered, the organization is empowered to take whatever pragmatic approach they can devise to skirt the law in favor of the regulation. (..) The result is a lawless government."
Technocracy is one of those topics that seeps into nigh every facet of our lives, but which most people know nothing about.
To simplify its understanding, it's always best to be as precise as possible when convening a message, especially using a term which doesn't get bandied about regularly. Based on that, let us define what technocracy is for the purposes of this review:
"Technocracy is the science of social engineering, the scientific operation of the entire social mechanism to produce and distribute goods and services to the entire population..." ["What Is Technocracy?", The Technocrat, Vol. 3, No. 4, 1938]
As one can see from the date of the quote above, Technocracy is nothing new. It's been around for many decades, and it has only morphed into something far more nefarious with time.
Technocracy Rising - The Trojan Horse Of Global Transformation, by Patrick M. Wood, is an absolutely phenomenal book, chockfull of sources, and extremely incisive. With that said, can definitely see people that know not of this/these topics giving it askance look, and that would be okay. Everyone should be open minded and skeptical about everything, regardless of where it comes from.
Still, the sources the author uses in this book are irrefutable, and what is taken place over decades covered by the author, even more so.
The book conveniently begins with coverage of how Technocracy began in its nascent stages, and how it progressed throughout time. It also does a methodical job of naming names, in bold throughout the book, of the characters behind the Technocratic agenda.
People like Zbigniew Brzezinski and David Rockefeller are mainstays in this agenda, and mentioned quite frequently throughout the book, for very good reason. Each of them, as well as a cadre of others, have been quite notably involved in the infusion of this agenda across multiple disciplines, throughout society, extending throughout all nations.
In any case, from Technocracy's roll within the Nazi's Third Reich, to more modern components spread out throughout America and elsewhere, the book pulls no punches in outlining how the system is being established, and why it is so.
One thing that was unknown to me, that was quite useful for future reference et al. is the fact that the author mentions many individual components of Technocracy, all of which feed the super system of top-down control that's being implemented.
Some of these include, but are not limited to:
Agenda 21 Common Core State Standards Conservation Easements Smart Growth Land Use Energy Smart Grid Sustainable Development Green Economy
Along with the above, how Technocracy affects Economics, Law, Government & even Religion are detailed quite extensively by the author. Many people will find many parts of these chapters quite shocking, because most of this does not get any mainstream coverage. Unfortunately though, just because one hears not of an issue, doesn't mean it is non-existent. Of course, media control is also quite the ever present component in these type of schemes, which is why most of the populace knows not of such issues.
Many more details are covered by the author, some more nefarious than others, but all serve to buttress this morally corrupt Technocratic that's being constructed right before our very eyes.
Ultimately, how we react to issues in life is proportional to what we know. This book's veritable crashcourse into what is taking place, is as detailed as it is sobering.
Anyone concerned about the future of their family/community/nation/planet should read this book.
In the age of information, ignorance is no excuse.
To paraphrase Ghandi, to be the change we wish to see in the world, we need to know what we face as individuals. This book allows us to do just that.
The future will be determined by what we decide to do.
The author is recounting much of what one reads in bits and pieces pertaining to concern as to who actually controls our government and what the future may hold. The problem is the recycled nature of the information and shallow analysis. I suggest, "Tragedy and Hope," by Carroll Quigley even though it was published in 1963! This is not to demean Mr. Wood, but elevate the genius of Carroll Quigley. Quigley was an absolute and total technocrat and as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations as well as Georgetown Professor of International Studies, was a true insider. He wrote not in disagreement of the elite agenda, but simply as an educator who spoke a bit too freely for his peers. This book was originally censored and ultimately came to print with extremely limited distribution after a compromise with the publisher. He was a favorite professor of multiple Presidents including Clinton as the most recent. One can also read, "The Anglo-American Establishment," by Quigley for more penetrating analysis of the historical genesis of the current power structure in this country and Western Europe. I do think as a quick summation of issues that can have a profound impact on everyone if not properly understood Mr. Woods provides some reasonable insight. I do not subscribe to each issue he references as credible, but that is for the reader to decide and in part of why I score this a 2. He does his best work in appealing to the reader to get involved in local politics and keep educated as to the issues of the day.
Currently reading. So far this is turning out to be a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend to anyone interested in technology, politics, and even sociology and geopolitics. Fascinating how everything is tied together in today's world.
I have to say I found it not only well-researched and thorough, but throughly readable. It took some time to get through only because I had to continually stop to take notes. Patrick Wood does an outstanding job of connecting the dots between Agenda 21, Globalization and Government overreach which threaten our most basic human liberties today. He exposes the agenda of the New Economic World Order- and who’s behind it with clarity and more than sufficient evidence for even the most stubborn skeptic. It is an absolute must-read and a wake-up call for those who aren't yet fully aware of this clear and present danger.

Break out your highlighter and book tabs because there's way too much to remember from this gem. Tons of good info documenting the planned demise of society to usher in a demented age of micromanagement and control like humanity has never known before.
Considering this book was written in 2014, it is a very accurate account of what is going on now. It pulls back the veil on the evil globalist agenda, those responsible, their duplicitousness, how long it has been going on and the likely totalitarian future we are sleep-walking into. The promised utopia of world government aims to make humans God-like, whether we like it or not. One thing is for sure, it will be totally Godless.
Technocracy Rising does a great job unveiling the wolf in sheep clothing. I think there are other variables that go far beyond the technocratic movement that will not be found anywhere in this book but the author wanted to show the deceptive nature in how one side of the power elite's rise over the masses. He accomplished this task by presenting focused yet modest conclusions based on hard facts backed up by heavily supported evidence.
Overall the book does explain the faux pop ecology movement being presented in the media, government and education departments mostly trickling its way through the United Nations whose schemes are operated at the hierarchical top by the CFR and Trilateral Commission in the US. The attack on sovereignty by the elites has not always been by the technocracy movement though as Wood claims but it has more recently been using it as one of its methods. Though implemented much earlier in history by the ruling elite, technocracy has become its most effective strategy in furthering its plan of complete control for almost a half a century.
Technocracy is also deeply linked with fascist communism which Wood refuses to believe these are interconnfcted but overall this is a very important book. It is not an analysis of the elite takeover that you will find being talked about often among circles within the truther movement but a crucial one nonetheless. Overall what we are headed toward as Wood points out is an elite takeover under the guise of "science" and "ecological sustainability" with no real conversation being had among the public other than those in favor of the elites who are currently polluting everything.
The latter factor is something he did not address in his book which I would have liked to have seen but again all in all he did a great job describing the superficiality within the movement and how to prevent it by small longterm battles within communal governmental circles (where these issues are being swept under our eyes) rather than fighting the source in one big battle directly. Great work.
― “[The technetronic era] involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled and directed society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior scientific know-how. Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by using the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control.46”
― “Darwinism spawned the eugenics movement; Marxist philosophies led directly to the Communist overthrow in Russia; Fabian socialism was identified with colonialism in southern Africa; the Technocracy movement took off in the 1920s, and so on.”
― “Technocracy will be shown to be thoroughly anti-Christian and completely intolerant of Biblical thought. This has always been the hallmark sign seen in idolatrous religions and practices!”
While reading this book, I had to wonder how much cherry-picking of information the author used to make his point. That's fine, I suppose, but showing no opposing views and making what appears to be a conclusion that the Trilateral Commission rules all I think is a bit of a stretch.
It does have quite a bit of informative material, which I think is worth reading. But I by no means found the book balanced in its views. It will remain for me to do some additional reading to determine just what is simple truth and what is constructed from "facts" that may or may not have actual connections.
This is a very enlightening book concerning the history and tactics that the technocrats have and are using to undermine our government along with other world governments.This is a necessary read for those who wish to be enlightened to the world around them.
A thorough review of the long strategy of the elite to move to a one world govt utopian society. The current tide of destruction will be built on the back of climate change. Brace yourselves
This book attempts to paint technocrats as the evil villains of modern society but this misses the mark entirely. Why is the author laying all blame on technocracy while suggesting that we have already moved beyond capitalism? If there is one overarching mastermind behind the problems that regular people face today, it’s the capitalist not the technocrat. This book serves to undermine people’s trust in experts. The end of the book describes how to identify a technocrat and includes “promotes pseudo-scientific ideas such as global warming/climate change or sustainable development”. Following this is a section titled “How to get a technocrat fired”. This book just tries to fear monger people about the “inevitable scientific dictatorship” that we will reach if we keep listening to these technocrats. I wouldn’t recommend reading.
Interesting take on current events not sure I can believe that the establishment is as devious, clever and evil as would be the case if this is true. Something of an eye opener..
Technocracy Rising: The Silent Algorithmic Coup You Never Voted For.
A surgical exposé of how unelected engineers, bankers, and digital overlords are building a post-human control grid — while the old elites fight each other over the kill switch.
This book is not speculative fiction. It’s a field report from the frontlines of the quietest, most totalitarian revolution in modern history — and unlike communism, fascism, or religious jihad, Technocracy doesn’t storm the gates with tanks. It rewires the world from within, through data, algorithms, climate hysteria, and digital control grids.
Patrick Wood takes the blinders off and exposes Technocracy as a non-political, post-capitalist, anti-human operating system being quietly installed across the globe. It’s not just a system of governance — it’s a paradigm of engineered obedience, birthed in the 1930s, buried after WWII, and resurrected through AI, ESG, smart cities, and surveillance capitalism.
Key Architecture of the Control Grid:
1. Technocracy = Rule by Algorithm, Not Elected Humans
Wood traces its origins to Columbia University (1932) — a literal “science of social control,” where energy consumption becomes the currency, behavior the product, and engineers the new priest class. In this model, freedom is inefficient, and democracy is obsolete.
Forget politicians. This is governance-by-spreadsheet, with no voting, no soul, no consent.
2. The Global Coup: From Nation-States to Network States
Wood shows how technocracy piggybacked onto climate change, sustainable development (Agenda 21/2030), and WEF’s Fourth Industrial Revolution. It’s camouflaged under nice-sounding terms like “green economy,” “smart governance,” and “resilience.”
Reality? It’s centralized resource management — meaning YOU become a resource to be monitored, rated, and optimized. They call it “stakeholder capitalism.” Translation: You own nothing. They audit your existence.
3. The Trojan Horse: Trilateral Commission
Wood rips the mask off the Trilateral Commission — co-founded by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, the true midwives of modern Technocracy. Their aim? End the dominance of political nation-states and replace it with managed global interdependence, steered by non-elected bureaucrats and corporate-academic overlords.
Yes, the same Brzezinski who mentored Obama. The same elite circle that killed democratic accountability and replaced it with boards, panels, task forces, and AI-driven decision-making.
Elites Eat Elites — No Unified Cabal
This is where Wood almost misses a deeper layer-the fact that ruling class is not unified.
There’s no single cabal, no “smooth machine.” What exists is a fractured elite ecosystem — with bankers, technocrats, Zionists, Vatican operators, Anglo-imperial holdouts, and now AI cultists, all fighting for dominance.
Technocrats want post-human obedience. Bankers still play the debt-slavery game. Old-money families, Vatican-linked bloodlines) cling to ritual power. Zionist networks work tribal dominance through media, finance, and lawfare.
Wood focuses hard on the technocratic vanguard, but he doesn’t fully address the inner war between these factions. And that’s key: Technocracy is a power bloc, not the power bloc. It’s just the most digitally invasive one.
Wood doesn’t call out tribal links explicitly, but we will. Technocracy’s modern resurrection runs deep through Israeli cyber-tech, Unit 8200, dual-use surveillance systems, and Davos-aligned media cartels — heavily influenced by Talmudic-rooted globalists operating through “neutral” NGOs and corporate fronts.
The Tel Aviv–Silicon Valley–Wall Street axis is not an accident. It’s strategic convergence — AI + finance + control = permanent leverage.
Verdict:
Technocracy Rising is a mandatory alarm bell. Not perfect, but damn close. It decodes the structure of this rising new order without relying on Hollywood-tier fear porn. Wood doesn’t entertain wild fantasies — he documents actual frameworks, treaties, institutions, and trends already operational.
This isn’t Orwell. This is reality-with-an-Excel-sheet-on-top, designed by people who despise your soul and your sovereignty.
Generally a good read. I am happy to see that something that was once considered "conspiracy theory" is now coming into the mainstream. I think the dangers of technocracy are something that really needs to come to the forefront to keep humanity from self-destructing. I do, however, have an important issue with the book and that is in the area of spirituality. In the beginning he says that Technocracy has no place for metaphysics and yet half way through, we he states that this same Techocracy is embracing metaphysics in the form of secular humanism, which he bashes. Instead, he quotes the Bible and clings to a reactionary Christian view. This was disappointing. Secular humanism is about humans and the individual and cannot co-exist with a Technocracy.The moment you let it in, Technocracy loses its power. Shamans were respecting nature long before Agenda 21, so I think blaming Technocracy for the Ecology movement is highly overrated. I think that Technocracy is just a "phase" that humanity is going through and will pass we continue to become more enlightened.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Technocracy is a dangerous idea based on the scientists's dream of Utopia. It's rule by scientists who 'have all the answers' and 'know better.' The plan under Technocracy is to move to an energy based ecomony, where the consumer accumulates 'energy credits,' sort of like cellphone minutes which will expire. This book clearly explains what Technocracy is, and the worldwide scientific dictatorship that is on the horizon in the form of the 'New World Order.' Other authors have tried to warn us, like Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) and George Orwell (1984 and Animal Farm.) This book is a must read for those who want to know why 'climate change' is being pushed so hard, why our local and national governments have adopted the notion that carbon is a 'pollutant,' why 'smart meters' have being imposed on us, and why our national boundaries are being taken down, along with our current economic system. I recommend read it and get informed.
A bit dry, but it did have interesting information which may or may not cause one to be paranoid. I don't believe that worry is the author's intention, however, so don't let that keep you from becoming informed about what happens that isn't reported in the news.
