🔍 Overview

This book explores how algorithms have redefined human systems — from labor and biology to identity and governance. Through chapters that span AI, neuroscience, economics, plant science, and ethics, this project calls for new models of leadership, law, and consciousness in the age of code.

“The Fourth Industrial Revolution is not about machines. It’s about logic, ethics, and the human soul.”
