Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow
What happens when humanity, having conquered war, famine, and plague, turns its gaze not toward survival—but toward godhood? Homo Deus is a hauntingly lucid exploration of our next great ambition: to engineer happiness, eternal life, and perhaps even divinity itself. As algorithms begin to understand us better than we understand ourselves, the book poses an unsettling question: will Homo sapiens remain masters of their destiny, or become relics of their own creation? With the cold fire of prophecy and the precision of science, this narrative beckons the reader to walk the fault line between intelligence and consciousness, freedom and programming, mortal limits and divine dreams.

Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion
Why do we say “yes” when we mean to say “no”? Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion peels back the velvet curtain of persuasion to reveal the invisible levers that others pull to shape our decisions, beliefs, and desires.

Is persuasion a tool for manipulation, or a mirror reflecting our deepest instincts? This book does not merely explain influence—it casts a spotlight on the subtle choreography of human connection and control.
