Produktbeschreibung
What if the most profound changes in your life weren t dramatic or disruptive but invisible? Every time you follow a GPS instead of navigating, let autocomplete finish your thoughts, or swipe through curated recommendations, you re not just saving time. You re participating in a quiet redesign of how your mind works. This book reveals how technology shapes habits without asking altering how we decide, remember, move, and relate to the world. In a culture obsessed with ease, we rarely question what s lost in the name of digital convenience tradeoffs. But the cost of frictionless design psychology isn t just in our attention spans or memory. It s in the slow erosion of skills, agency, and depth. Designed for curious readers who sense that something subtle is shifting and want the language and clarity to name it this book is a map to the hidden architectures of modern life. Drawing from psychology, urban systems, and design ethics, it gives you new tools to see the world not just as it is, but as it s being shaped by every app, interface, and smart device. You ll uncover: How cognitive offloading is changing the way we learn, think, and navigate identity Why algorithmic decision-making is narrowing your choices before you even notice The overlooked value of discomfort, delay, and getting lost What it means to reclaim mental and behavioral sovereignty in a human-computer interaction age This is not an anti-tech rant. It s a call for deeper awareness of invisible tech influence and an invitation to design your digital life on purpose. For readers who care about clarity, control, and the future of thought, this book offers not just insight, but agency.
Autorenporträt
Rowan Hale writes on the collision of privatized force, cyber power, and artificial intelligence-how conflict escapes borders and enters markets, networks, and everyday life. His work blends field reporting, open¿source investigation, and interviews with private contractors, militia organizers, and threat¿intelligence teams to map how "wars without flags" actually operate on the ground and online. Hale has briefed humanitarian groups and corporate risk leaders on deniable warfare and information manipulation, and curates a widely read newsletter on AI and conflict. He is driven by a simple aim: make fast¿moving security shifts legible to thoughtful readers so they can separate signal from noise, challenge easy narratives, and make better real¿world decisions.
