A book that shatters traditional economic narratives, sheds light on the dark corners of the financial system, and captures the economic pulse of the digital age: Silikon Banker
In this work, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Caner Özdurak analyzes Turkey's recent economic and political transformation through a lens that intersects with the most critical themes of the digital era — artificial intelligence, crypto assets, synthetic finance, Web3, biotechnology, and global paradigms. He explores how inflation affects not just prices but mindsets, covering a wide spectrum from investor psychology to the collapse of macroeconomic policies, from the political and ethical consequences of technological leaps to visions of a “synthetic economy,” all delivered in a tone that is both ironic and analytical.
Silikon Banker is the boldest installment in a body of work that began with İktisat Kantini and Grafiktisat. Blending fictional narratives with academic analysis, the book takes the reader from the dark universe of Nathan Never to the boundaries of ChatGPT, and even to Churchill’s war room. But this time, the agenda is not just historical — it is also futuristic.
This book is both a contemporary commentary by an economist and an intellectual laboratory capturing the changing heartbeat of an era. At its core are the digitized actors of financial architecture, the algorithmic redistribution of economic power, and the metaphysics of money in the post-human age.
If you're seeking more than just data in economic writing — if you're looking for character, meaning, and reality — Silikon Banker invites you on an intellectual journey from today into tomorrow.
