Opis

In a world where technology promises to solve our deepest problems, where we are told that progress is the ultimate good, there exists a danger far greater than we could have ever imagined. The promise of a perfect life - a world free from disease, poverty, chaos - is tempting. We live in an age where we are constantly connected, our thoughts, habits, and desires fed into algorithms that claim to know us better than we know ourselves.But what if that promise of progress comes with a price? What if the very technology designed to protect us, to elevate us, is slowly eroding the core of what makes us human - our freedom to think, to choose, to dream?Brainlocked: The Price of Control is a story about that price. It is set in a not-too-distant future, where brain-computer interfaces like MindSync have blurred the line between human autonomy and corporate control. On the surface, it seems like the world is evolving - illnesses are cured, wars are prevented, and societies are thriving.People feel safe but are they? But beneath this veneer of perfection lies a terrifying reality: the minds of billions are no longer their own.This story is fiction, but its core questions are not. The systems of control described in Brainlocked may not be fully realized in our world - yet - but the groundwork has already been laid.
