Klappentext
A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME TO THE HEART OF POWER. FROM ROME TO THE ALGORITHM
What if a man could travel through the centuries and discover the true engine of history? An engine of transactions, not ideas.
Frater Benedictus, a 6th-century monk, is caught in a temporal whirlwind. At the centers of power, he sees not heroes, but the invisible network of control: how Rome becomes a global bureaucracy, fear of purgatory becomes a stock exchange for the afterlife, and monastic rule becomes mechanical discipline. In New York, desire becomes a commodity, and in the digital age, algorithms capture neural patterns.
But the deeper he penetrates, the clearer the terrifying pattern becomes. Be it gold or data, the flow of value always follows the same law, pulling resources from the bottom to the top. The Almsbag is an anatomy of power and a journey to the core of the triad of law, money, and faith.
In the end, however, Benedictus discovers an indestructible spark the human longing for meaning, which evades all appropriation. An epic thriller and a sharp-witted analysis for readers of Umberto Eco and Yuval Noah Harari.
A condensed masterpiece on the power of the world. This book is more than a read; it is a tool for self-inquiry and recognition. It sharpens the eye for the invisible rules that have been at work for centuries.
