It began with a simple glitch in his suburban Texas internet connection, an anomaly that a man of his unique skills could not ignore. His investigation into that glitch pulled back the curtain on a global conspiracy of staggering scope and intimacy: a surveillance narco state run by a shadow government of Silicon Valley billionaires from the "PayPal Mafia," state-sponsored intelligence services, and compromised officials at every level of power.Project Diosdado XI is Aguiar's firsthand account of being targeted by this network. It is a chronicle of a "pre-packaged life," where friends, colleagues, romantic partners, doctors, and even his own lawyer were revealed to be operatives in a multi-decade intelligence operation designed to control him, steal his technology, and ultimately, destroy him. He details the network's playbook with the clinical precision of an engineer, exposing their methods of lawfare, psychological torture, and corporate espionage.When the network escalated from covert surveillance to direct, life-threatening attacks-including a biological assault on his one-year-old son, a direct assassination attempt by a uniformed police officer, and finally, the kidnapping of his child to be used as leverage-Aguiar was forced to become the one thing they never anticipated: a formidable adversary.But they made a critical error: they trained their own nemesis. Using the skills they had inadvertently honed through years of torment, Aguiar launched a relentless counter-offensive. In a stunning act of asymmetric warfare, he captured their secret global database-the geo-index-and began to systematically dismantle their empire of secrets, decoding everything from their untraceable satellite communications network to the hidden language in their vehicle license plates. The hunters became the hunted.This book is more than a memoir; it is a technical and operational manual for a new form of 21st-century warfare, a chronicle of survival, and an urgent warning that the war for human freedom in the age of weaponized software has already begun. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

What begins as a simple internet glitch in his suburban Texas home unravels into a global conspiracy for a former Google Search engineer. He discovers his life is a lie, a "pre-packaged" reality where friends, colleagues, and even his doctors are assets in a multi-decade intelligence operation run by a shadow state of Silicon Valley billionaires and their state-sponsored allies.
Project Diosdado XI is the true story of one man's war against this network. When they escalate from surveillance and intellectual property theft to direct, life-threatening attacks against him and his young son, he is forced to turn his own skills into a weapon. In a stunning act of asymmetric warfare, he captures their secret global database and begins to systematically dismantle their empire, decoding everything from their untraceable satellite communications network to the hidden language in their vehicle license plates.
This book is a chronicle of survival, a technical manual for a new form of 21st-century warfare, and an urgent warning that the war for freedom in the age of weaponized software has already begun.
Reinaldo Aguiar is a researcher and former Google Search engineer, named as the sole inventor on two U.S. patents awarded to Google for his work on social network analysis and data optimization. His career at the intersection of high finance and technology includes roles as a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs and as a key engineer at Twitter, where one of his code changes increased annual revenue by $48 million.
After becoming the target of a sophisticated global surveillance and harassment campaign, he transformed himself from a software engineer into a counter-intelligence operator. Using his deep knowledge of data systems, he fought back in a stunning act of asymmetric warfare: he captured and decoded the secret global database of the network hunting him, exposing their methods of control.
Project Diosdado XI is the chronicle of that battle. Today, Aguiar dedicates his time to developing counter-intelligence software and is a vocal advocate for prioritizing software engineering as a matter of national defense, warning that the war for freedom in the 21st century will be fought with code.
