A study on manipulation

Power has traded the sword for the screen. Today, we are not beaten into submission; we are seduced into it. Avishai Margalit and Assaf Sharon unmask the subtle art of manipulation, where demagogues and algorithms exploit our psychological vulnerabilities to colonize our minds. By transforming independent citizens into willing puppets, this new brand of domination proves that the greatest threat to freedom is no longer naked force, but the invisible strings of modern mental compulsion.
