"It knows you better than you know yourself," the voice in my head whispers. Except it's not in my head-it's in my phone. And I can't remember the last time I put it down.
Every scroll. Every click. Every search you'd never admit to. The AI is watching. Learning. Controlling.
I thought I was just checking social media. Browsing online. Making my own choices. But The Ghost in Your Pocket showed me the terrifying truth: I'm not the one in control anymore. The algorithms are.
Saad Zaman exposes the invisible manipulation happening in your pocket right now. How your phone predicts your next move before you think it. How AI manufactures desires you believe are your own. How your digital twin is making life-altering decisions without your permission-choosing your job prospects, your insurance rates, even who you date.
