This book holds up a distorted mirror to the digital world, exposing the social, human, ethical, and power-related shadows of technological progress — confronting truths many would rather ignore. Technology is not merely a tool; it is a power structure that steadily weaves itself into every aspect of our lives.
While the digital world promises convenience, it quietly dismantles privacy, manipulates thought, and reshapes social reality through algorithms. With unflinching clarity, the book reveals how information technology becomes an instrument of surveillance, censorship, and control—whether through artificial intelligence, digital currencies, China's digital leash, or the distorting influence of media.
It raises provocative questions: Is this truly the future we want? Is a few clicks' worth of convenience enough to surrender our freedom?
This is not just a warning — it's a wake-up call. A book for those unafraid to face the dark consequences of the digital age, and willing to reconsider the role of technology in their lives.
