Reprogrammed

What if the most convenient parts of your day-your morning scroll, your driving route, your evening playlist-weren't just helping you, but quietly steering you?

This book is a revealing look into how our most familiar technologies-navigation apps, curated feeds, smart tools-aren't just responding to our behavior; they're shaping it. Beneath their seamless design lies a powerful architecture of influence that rewrites how we choose, believe, and behave.

From algorithmic decision making to behavioral design in apps, you'll uncover how seemingly neutral platforms are built to guide your clicks, purchases, routes, and even your thoughts. The goal isn't control-it's compliance by design. That frictionless experience? It often comes at the cost of your agency.

This is for readers who are thoughtful, curious, and increasingly uneasy with the feeling that their digital life is choosing for them. If you've ever wondered why certain headlines keep appearing in your feed, or why you always follow the same route home, this book will change how you see the digital infrastructure around you.
