By Patrick M. Wood
Overview
Patrick M. Wood’s Technocracy: The Hard Road to World Order is a sequel to Technocracy Rising, delving deeper into how global elites are systematically implementing a technocratic world order. Wood argues that modern global governance is not about democracy or capitalism, but about a totalitarian system controlled by scientists, engineers, and unelected bureaucrats.
This book examines how institutions like the United Nations (UN), the World Economic Forum (WEF), and the Trilateral Commission are replacing traditional governance with a scientific dictatorship where personal freedoms, private property, and national sovereignty are being eradicated.
Wood’s central thesis is that technocracy is the “hard road” to world order, meaning that it requires a slow, systematic, and deceptive implementation process—one that relies on technology, data collection, and global crises to consolidate control.
Key Themes & Insights
What is Technocracy? A System of Total Control
- Technocracy is a system where scientific experts, not elected officials, run society.
- Unlike capitalism, which is based on free markets, and communism, which relies on state control of production, technocracy seeks to control society through data, AI, and energy management.
- The end goal is a global scientific dictatorship that controls:
- Money (through central bank digital currencies – CBDCs)
- Energy (through carbon credits and smart grids)
- Behavior (through AI-driven social engineering and digital surveillance)
“The greatest deception of technocracy is that it masquerades as progress while eroding human freedom.”
The “Hard Road” Strategy: How Technocracy is Being Implemented
Unlike violent revolutions, technocracy advances gradually and covertly through crises and economic restructuring. Wood identifies several key mechanisms:
The United Nations & Agenda 2030 (Sustainable Development Goals – SDGs)
- Technocrats use climate change and sustainability policies as tools to implement control.
- Smart cities, carbon credits, and energy rationing will limit how much people can travel, what they can buy, and where they can live.
- Bureaucratic regulations replace national sovereignty, forcing countries to comply with global policies dictated by the UN and WEF.
“Sustainability is the Trojan Horse for a technocratic takeover.”
The Financial System: Digital Currencies & The End of Cash
- The rise of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) gives governments the power to monitor, control, and restrict transactions in real-time.
- Universal Basic Income (UBI) will be introduced as a way to pacify populations, but with conditions that require absolute compliance.
- The elimination of cash removes financial freedom, creating total dependence on the technocratic system.
“Control the money, control the people.”
The Fourth Industrial Revolution (AI, Surveillance, and Automation)
- The WEF’s Fourth Industrial Revolution envisions a world where AI, robotics, and automation replace jobs, forcing people into digital economic control systems.
- Biometric surveillance, social credit scoring, and AI-driven law enforcement will regulate human behavior, ensuring that people comply with government mandates.
- Smart grids and Internet of Things (IoT) devices will track consumption, movement, and even thoughts through predictive AI.
“The Fourth Industrial Revolution is not about progress—it’s about control.”
Crisis Engineering: Using Emergencies to Advance Control
- Wood highlights how crises—whether economic, health-related, or environmental—are used to justify extreme government interventions.
- The COVID-19 pandemic was a test case for future digital surveillance, vaccine passports, and AI-driven health policies.
- Future crises (climate lockdowns, financial collapses, cyber attacks) will be used to implement new restrictions that never get reversed.
“Every crisis is an opportunity for the global elite to expand their power.”
The Role of the Trilateral Commission & Global Elites
- Wood explains how the Trilateral Commission, founded by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski in the 1970s, played a central role in reviving technocracy.
- He connects elite organizations like the WEF, Bilderberg Group, and UN in shaping a global system where corporations, banks, and AI replace national governments.
- The goal is to create a borderless world where technocrats, not elected officials, dictate policy.
“Elections become meaningless when unelected global bureaucrats hold all the power.”
The Technocratic Future: Where This is Headed
- Digital IDs and social credit scores will dictate access to essential services.
- AI-driven governance will replace human politicians, ensuring absolute obedience to pre-programmed policies.
- People will be locked into smart cities with movement restrictions (15-minute cities).
- Transhumanism will blur the line between man and machine, creating a population that is biologically and digitally controlled.
“Once this system is fully operational, resistance will be nearly impossible.”
How to Resist Technocracy
Despite the bleak future Wood warns about, he emphasizes that it is not too late to resist. He outlines key strategies:
Reject Digital Currencies & Global ID Systems
- Use cash whenever possible.
- Avoid signing up for biometric digital IDs and CBDCs.
Build Parallel Societies & Decentralized Communities
- Support local economies, independent farming, and off-grid living.
- Create self-sufficient communities that do not rely on centralized systems.
Demand Political Accountability & Reject Global Governance
- Expose and oppose international treaties that surrender national sovereignty.
- Elect officials who resist technocratic policies and advocate for constitutional freedoms.
Protect Privacy & Digital Freedom
- Use encrypted communication tools and VPNs to avoid mass surveillance.
- Avoid social credit scoring systems and data-tracking applications.
Final Thoughts: A Critical Book for Understanding Global Control
Technocracy: The Hard Road to World Order is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how global power is shifting from elected governments to unelected technocrats.
Wood’s research exposes the real forces driving global transformation—not capitalism, socialism, or democracy, but technocracy: a scientific dictatorship where AI, data, and global institutions dictate every aspect of life.
For those concerned about digital surveillance, economic restrictions, and loss of personal freedom, this book serves as both a warning and a call to action.
“The road to world order is paved with digital chains. But awareness is the first step toward resistance.”
