Drawing from philosophy, media theory, and real-world experiments like the Berlin Experiment, Xun argues that we now live in a state of lucid sleep--where perception is shaped by algorithms, attention is monetized, and critical thought dissolves into endless suggestion. Figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk are not exceptions, but archetypes of this system, hypnotizing the public through crisis, spectacle, and contradiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom algorithmic intimacy to the illusion of action, from infinite presents to the absorption of dissent, \u003ci\u003eHypnocracy\u003c\/i\u003e maps how digital capitalism induces a functional trance that feels like freedom. Artificial intelligence, rather than illuminating truth, generates plausible fictions that deepen the spell. Yet resistance is still possible--not through awakening, but by learning to remain lucid inside the dream. This is a survival manual for our hypnotized age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jianwei Xun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sutherland House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.2lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.36h x 5.44w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781997701194","brand":"Sutherland House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45606407831689,"sku":"9781997701194","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_27cab2d6-6aeb-4c50-b356-63caaae6a31d.jpg?v=1776751339","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/hypnocracy-trump-musk-the-new-architecture-of-reality-9781997701194","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
