Code Is Law: How rules of software run our world

By JD Arden

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 map: 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.
