I read last Thursday the 37th law of power about creating grand spectacles.  Like most if not all of the "laws" of power the key to this "law" is a vivid imagination.  Most of the "laws" in this book depend also on an environment that concentrates power in order for them to be valid.  Concentration of power was the rule decades and centuries ago but today thanks to improvements in communication power is diffuse.  Nobody rules.  Everyone represents.  The "48 Laws of Power" are entertaining and amusing but irrelevant in modern society.
