The War for Your Attention

By Michael Spurling and Black Lantern Society

The War for Your Attention is fought with screens, slogans, statistics, and manipulation. Every day, corporations, governments, and hidden powers compete for the most valuable resource you possess: your attention. Where it goes, your energy follows-and so too does your freedom.

In this bold and eye-opening book, Michael Spurling exposes the architecture of control that shapes modern life. From the "Three-Headed Beast" of media, advertising, and social platforms, to the chains of debt, the pharmacies of dependence, and the empires of organized belief, Spurling shows how seemingly separate systems interlock into a single net designed to capture your mind, your time, and your choices.

But this is more than a critique-it is a field guide. The War for Your Attention arms you with practical tools to spot manipulation in real time, reclaim the literacies denied by traditional schooling, and protect the sacred flame of awareness. With clarity and urgency, it calls you to recognize the patterns of distraction, fear, and obedience, and to choose where-and to whom-you give your focus.

Whether you are new to questioning the systems around you or already awake to the hidden forces of the "Empire," this book will sharpen your perception and strengthen your resistance. Because in a world built on programming, awareness itself is resistance.
