Mind Hacking

Is it possible not to lose democracy, freedom and our sense of self in the digital revolution? Your brain is the most valuable territory in the world, and right now a war is being waged over it that you may not even be aware of. The book Hacking the Mind takes you behind the scenes of operations where your emotions, identity and political views become the raw material for a new system of power – algocracy. Technologist and podcaster Josef Holý explains how this system works, who creates it and why, how it affects the functioning of politics and society, why we behave like members of digital cults, what the deal is with freedom of speech, and why your relative went crazy. However, he doesn't just describe the problem; he also proposes the only possible solution: digital democracy.
