It imagined telescreens and Thought Police, when all you really need is a smartphone and free Wi-Fi. We've built a surveillance apparatus so sophisticated it makes Big Brother look like a door-to-door census taker with a dodgy moustache.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Algorithmic Mind: Book 2\u003c\/strong\u003e reveals how we've moved beyond AI that merely reflects our biases to systems that actively shape our behaviour.

The irony? Whilst we critique China's explicit social credit system, we've built something arguably more pernicious-surveillance infrastructure operating without transparency, accountability, or democratic oversight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis isn't another privacy scare story or techno-optimist manifesto. It's a clear-eyed examination of how surveillance capitalism transforms social relationships, economic structures, and political processes faster than our collective ability to understand them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWritten by a Global Tech Veteran\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGari Johnson brings 30+ years of technology leadership across Asia Pacific, providing unique insights into how surveillance operates across cultures.
