An Empire of the Mind: Mark Zuckerberg and the Colonization of Human Attention

by Abhijeet Sarkar, CEO & Founder, Synaptic AI Lab

Why can't you look away? Why does the world feel so divided? Why do you carry a constant, low-level anxiety you can't quite name?

The answer is not a personal failing. It is the architecture of the largest, most powerful empire in history—an empire that has colonized your mind.

In this explosive, must-read investigation, visionary AI researcher and philosopher Abhijeet Sarkar, CEO & Founder of Synaptic AI Lab, dismantles the benevolent myth of Facebook and reveals its true nature: a modern colonial project designed to conquer the most valuable territory on Earth—your attention.

This is not another book about technology. It is a book about power, psychology, and control. Forget "social media." Sarkar argues that Facebook's business model is a direct descendant of historical colonialism, trading the conquest of land for the conquest of human consciousness. The resource being mined is your focus. The product being sold is your own behavior.

As the founder of a leading AI research lab, Sarkar offers a rare, terrifyingly clear insider's perspective. He combines a deep understanding of algorithmic architecture with a profound inquiry into its human cost, revealing how the tools you use every day are not gifts, but weapons in a war for your mind.

Inside, you will discover:

An Empire of the Mind is more than a critique of a company; it is a diagnosis of our age and a guide to our liberation. It is a map of the invisible cage we inhabit and a blueprint for breaking free. It argues that the fight for our attention is the defining struggle of the 21st century—a fight for our free will, our democracies, and our very sense of self.

If you have ever felt that your time and focus are no longer your own, this is the most important book you will read this year. It's time to understand the forces shaping your reality.
