The Mind Machine is not a self-help book.
It is a manual for mental responsibility.
In an age of distraction, artificial intelligence, and outsourced judgment, this book makes a single uncompromising argument:
the future belongs to trained minds—or to no one at all.
Blending philosophy, psychology, education, language, power, and civilization-scale thinking, The Mind Machine examines how thought is formed, how it is corrupted, and how it can be deliberately rebuilt—at the level of individuals, families, nations, and humanity itself.
Inside, readers will discover:
-
why attention is the true currency of power
-
how language shapes reality and judgment
-
why reading and writing are mental survival skills
-
how fear, pleasure, and noise weaken thinking
-
why untrained minds are becoming obsolete in the AI age
-
how parents, teachers, leaders, and writers shape civilizations
-
why builders live longer than consumers
-
how knowledge allows the mind to outlive the body
Written with clarity, rigor, and moral seriousness, The Mind Machine is for readers who refuse to live as operated humans—and choose instead to govern their own thinking.
This is not a book to skim.
It is a book to live with.
