Most modern control does not arrive looking like control.

It arrives as convenience, safety, smoother access, and better user experience. It asks for one more proof, one more permission, one more layer of visibility, until surveillance, digital identity, and dependency begin to feel normal.

My book Systems Against the Self: Privacy, Power, and Resistance in the Modern Age explores how modern systems shape behaviour, identity, access, and freedom, often without appearing openly oppressive.

It also looks at how ordinary people can respond through privacy, security, self-custody, resilience, and stronger households and communities.
