The Engineered Society: Technology, Power, and the Future of Human Order
“The Engineered Society” explores how digital technologies, geopolitical strategies, and behavioural design are reshaping human life from the level of the individual mind to global power structures. Drawing from sociology, information technology, and political theory, the book uncovers how algorithms, platforms, and states co-produce a new form of social order — one driven by data, influence, and engineered behavior. It is a guide to understanding the new world emerging around us, and the choices we must make to build a humane technological civilization.”
