Books to educate on the hazards and horrors of modern life.

These works (like Conspirituality and Doppelganger) show how high-control ideologies have moved out of the dark corners of the internet and into the mainstream by adopting the aesthetics of wellness, fitness, and motherhood. They teach us to recognize when the language of "liberation" is being used to build a new cage. This shit is insidious. The more you know

learn what those in power have done to us across industry and government throughout American history, learn about the oppressive systems that need razing, and help create a dignified, fulfilling future for all of us. Recs welcome!!
