If the mind can be found - can it also be entered, blocked, and defended?
Volume One asked what the mind is, and where, and found it real - and larger than the modern verdict allows. Mind Hacking, Volume Two: The Hacking of Mind turns from finding the mind to entering it. If the mind is real, then it can be reached; and what can be reached can be shaped, blocked, redirected - and defended.
This is the working half of the inquiry. Chapter by chapter it walks the operations by which a mind is influenced from without and from within: the formation of personality, the redirection of a child's learning, the chemistry of love, the words that disturb and the disorders they precede, vengeance and addiction and persuasion, the reading of minds and the chanting of mantras, the maintenance of a stable mind, and the long walk from mindnullness toward mindfulness.
Then the inquiry widens - to sleep and sleeplessness, to myth and mystery, to the listening stone and the distant celestial object, to the fury of nature, and at last to the question that has waited at the end of every chapter: does death annihilate consciousness, or does something cross over?
Witness-driven, unhurried, and honest about what it does not yet know, the volume keeps the courtroom open to the last page. It is for the reader who suspects their own thoughts have not always been their own - and who would rather know the territory than be moved blindly across it.
The counter-technologies are real. The territory is real. The case is open.
