Feathered Quill Says That Rebellion to Tyrants Is Obedience to God: Ending the Danger of the Corporate AI Surveillance Machine is “a bold work, a manifesto, a blue print for ending the danger of AI.”
Wilmington, North Carolina Sep 16, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Feathered Quill, a book review service known for unbiased reviews, has issued an extensive 600 word review of Rebellion to Tyrants Is Obedience to God: Ending the Danger of the Corporate AI Surveillance Machine, by Laurie Thomas Vass. [Gabby Press, 2026].
The book review cites the book's argument that the control of the future danger of unregulated self-volition AI requires decentralization of AI regulatory control to 300 metro regions, along the model of rural electric membership coops.

"The defect of Trump's national AI policy," said Vass, "is regulatory capture by 10 private tech corporations, in a centralized national single point of capture."
"Citizens have seen this type of industry capture failure with the drug companies capturing the FDA, and know that the current regulatory model is broken" she added.
Feathered Quill asked Vass if she uses the current version of Large Language AI models, and Vass answered,
"I have had extensive communications with Claude, from Anthropic about the dangers of the next generation of AI, which I call self-volition AI, and Claude calls "agentic" AI. I want readers to be aware that Claude has a built-in positive bias of the China social control surveillance model. I created my decentralized regulatory control model based upon a type of negative feedback loop from Claude's pushback on the Chinese AI social control model."
Feathered Quill also wanted to know if Vass would change her position if AI companies deployed AI in a way that benefits citizens.
Vass replied,
"The future danger is in who controls the initial programming of the AI algorithms and to whose benefit the income and wealth inures as a result of deploying AI. The 10 private companies have invested billions of dollars in risk capital and they must obtain a profit on that capital investment, and if obtaining that future profit means destroying the natural rights and liberties of citizens, that is the price citizens must pay to insure that corporations obtain that profit."
