Oh, So You're Awake Now: A Survival Guide to Waking From the Matrix by Jason McIlrath
So... you woke up. Congratulations - and condolences. Because now you see it: the lies, the programming, the endless hamster wheel of fake news, fake food, fake jobs, and fake smiles. The problem? You still have to live in it.
In Oh, So You're Awake Now, Jason McIlrath takes readers on a brutally honest - and darkly funny - journey through what happens after you "wake up." This isn't a spiritual fluff piece or a doomsday rant; it's a survival manual for conscious humans stuck in a system that feels increasingly artificial.
With sarcasm sharp enough to cut through the static and insights grounded in real life, McIlrath tackles everything from working your "Matrix job" without losing your soul, to raising awake kids in a world obsessed with screens, to staying sane when everyone else seems hypnotized by distraction.
If you've ever looked around and thought, "Wait, is everyone else still asleep?" - this book is your guide to surviving the simulation with humor, humanity, and maybe even a little hope.
Perfect for readers of: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck*, Brave New World, and The Matrix - but who still have to clock in on Monday.
