Coded Control: How AI Is Quietly Taking Over Our Lives: The Hidden Impact of Algorithms, Automation, and the Fight for Human Autonomy

By Yiben Odyuo

Book Overview

Are we still in control, or have we silently surrendered to the machines? In an age where artificial intelligence shapes everything from our job markets to our social feeds, the quiet rise of algorithms is changing life as we know it. Coded Control explores the hidden influence of AI on our daily lives, exposing how convenience, automation, and data-driven decisions are subtly redefining our freedom, our choices, and even our humanity. This thought-provoking book uncovers the realities behind algorithmic bias, mass surveillance, and the slow erosion of privacy. It dives into how AI is transforming industries, displacing workers, and deepening global inequality. It questions whether we're getting smarter with technology--or slowly losing the very skills that define us. This is not a book of speculation or distant futures--it's a spotlight on the world we're already living in. Drawing from real-world examples and cultural shifts, Coded Control challenges readers to rethink their relationship with technology and ask: if machines are making more decisions for us, who is really in charge? If you've ever felt that the world is moving faster than your ability to question it, this book is your wake-up call.
