Sacrifice Incorporated

The Ritual Logic of Modern Power

De: A M DaVinci

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

What if modern wars, economic policies, and even the technologies we worship are not accidents of history, but rituals of sacrifice disguised as progress?

From the blood-soaked temples of the Aztecs to the digital networks of the twenty-first century, Sacrifice Incorporated uncovers the hidden logic that has always bound societies together: the demand for victims. While every age changes the form of its altar, the grammar of sacrifice remains. Human lives, scapegoats, nations, ecosystems, and even identities are offered up to sustain power.

This book takes you on a sweeping journey across civilizations and centuries, revealing:

• The Ancient Foundations – How empires like the Romans, Spartans, and Phoenicians built cohesion by consuming outsiders through ritualized cruelty.

• The Ideological Altars of the 20th Century – How fascism, communism, and liberal democracy demanded their own martyrs and scapegoats to legitimize themselves.

• The Global Market as Altar – How sweatshops, migrant workers, debt crises, and climate refugees became invisible offerings to sustain globalization’s machinery.

• The Digital Sacrifice – How algorithms, platforms, and surveillance demand offerings of privacy, attention, identity, and truth itself.

• The Post-Human Horizon – How biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and transhumanism extend sacrifice beyond body and nation, threatening humanity itself.

Unlike conventional histories that separate ancient ritual from modern politics, Sacrifice Incorporated argues they are one and the same system, dressed in different masks. Religion, ideology, progress, and technology are disguises that conceal the fire of sacrifice. Beneath them all, the same logic burns: martyrs exalted, scapegoats condemned, victims consumed.

This is not only a book of history, but a mirror for the present. It forces us to ask:

• Who are the invisible victims sustaining our comfort?

• What illusions convince us that suffering is “necessary”?

• How do modern spectacles — wars, markets, media — still function as rituals of cohesion?

• Can humanity survive the Post-Human Altar without offering itself entirely?

Written in urgent, provocative prose, Sacrifice Incorporated blends history, philosophy, and cultural critique into a haunting but empowering narrative. It unsettles, challenges, and ultimately calls for recognition: to see the altar clearly, to remember its victims, and to question its inevitability.

If you have ever wondered why the world seems locked in cycles of destruction — or whether we can finally break free — this book will change the way you see history, technology, and power itself.

Step behind the mask. See the fire. Decide what you will offer.
