Out of Sight, Out of Mind: The High-Stakes Shell Game Hiding Truth in Plain Sight (Chaos is the New Black Anthology)
Hidden forces are shaping what you see, think, and believe, and right now.
In his follow-up to the bestselling Chaos is the New Black, Jonathan McCloud peels back the curtain on the most powerful and invisible weapon of our time: information manipulation.
Through gripping storytelling, insider revelations, and a toolkit for resistance, Out of Sight, Out of Mind exposes how algorithms, corporations, and political operatives are quietly orchestrating a shell game of distraction and deception in our feeds, news cycles, and institutions.Meet Sarah Martinez, a Silicon Valley engineer who stumbles onto a vast network suppressing inconvenient truths; Elena Vasquez, an investigative journalist mapping the "obscuration economy"; and Dr. David Chen, a cognitive psychologist decoding how our minds can be hacked. Together, they reveal a world where the real fight isn't over ideas-it's over attention.
Inside, you'll discover:
The Vanishing Act: How vital information is made to disappear from public view.
The Complexity Trap: Why manipulators bury the truth in jargon and confusion.
The Emotional Hijack: How fear and outrage are weaponized to bypass rational thought.
The Shell Game Detection Kit (TRACE): A practical, step-by-step framework to spot and resist manipulation in your own life.
The Information Integrity Initiative: A bold vision for reclaiming democratic discourse and rebuilding trust at scale.
Part thriller, part manual, and part call-to-action, Out of Sight, Out of Mind is for readers who sense that something is off-and want the tools and clarity to fight back. Whether you're a concerned citizen, a leader, or simply tired of being played, this book will give you the insight and courage to stop being a pawn in someone else's game.
The choice is yours. The time is now. The work is ours to do.
