The Art & Science of Metawar: How to Coexist With AI-Driven Reality Distortion, Disinformation, & Ad
This book is about coexistence.
Metawar is the art and sc ience of creating immersive and believable experiences to influence, alter, and define one’s sense of reality. It is the battle for control over one’s belief systems, identity, and sense of reality outside one’s conscious awareness.
Great storytelling constructs an immersive, believable experience. Whether it’s radio, TV, movies, a story told around a campfire, or the infoglut of social media, the result of the orchestrated narrative is the same.
The Art & Science of Metawar describes some uncomfortable truths.
The only way to avoid an existential crisis in which human individualism and identity die, is to tame human primal instincts. Because humans are built to coexist with nature and not with technology, we must adapt and strengthen our mental immune systems to defend against attacks on our cognitive systems.
Those who control the technology control the narrative.
