Framed: A Villain's Perspective on Social Media Review – The Explosive Tell-All Big Tech Tried to Silence

Ever wondered who really designed the algorithms that hijack your attention? 🤯 This insider confessional is equal parts hilarious and horrifying. #SocialMediaExposed #DarkTech #UnfilteredTruth

If you’ve ever doomscrolled at 2 AM or rage-posted into the void, Framed is the book that will make you side-eye every notification forever.

Tim O’Hearn’s Framed reads like a villain’s TED Talk—if said villain was a snarky, self-aware tech genius who literally built the systems that keep us glued to our screens. As someone who’s both addicted to and deeply suspicious of social media, I devoured this book in one sitting. O’Hearn doesn’t just criticize the attention economy; he admits to engineering parts of it, with anecdotes so wild they feel like fiction (but oh, they’re not).

The juiciest bits? The bot empire he built (spoiler: your favorite influencer probably bought followers from someone like him), the psychological traps baked into news feeds, and the shockingly easy hacks to game algorithms. His dark humor makes the dystopia digestible—like when he casually mentions how "engagement" metrics reward outrage because "calm people don’t tap." Oof.

But it’s not all cynicism. O’Hearn offers legit insights on how to resist manipulation (hint: delete push notifications now) and why the "dead internet theory" might not be so conspiracy-ish after all. The most chilling takeaway? We’re not the users—we’re the product.

A whip-smart, terrifyingly funny autopsy of social media’s soul. Read it before it gets "shadowbanned." 🚨 #AlgorithmicReckoning #TechTellAll #DeleteTheApp

Across Three Continents: A Tale of Power, Deception, and the Brutal Shadow of Slavery

A mesmerizing historical epic that masterfully weaves truth with lies through an unreliable narrator whose ambition knows no bounds. Agawu-Kakraba's "The Restless Crucible" burns with unforgettable intensity! 🌍📜🔥 #HistoricalFiction #AfricanDiaspora #SlaveTradeNarrative Freedom fighter or opportunistic villain? In Yaw Agawu-Kakraba's spellbinding historical novel "The Restless Crucible," the answer depends entirely on who's telling the story. From the moment we meet Pedro de Barbosa—self-described ex-slave, con artist, slave trader, warmonger, and lover—we're pulled into a narrative that brilliantly challenges our understanding of truth itself. What begins as Pedro's memoir quickly reveals itself as something far more complex and fascinating. Agawu-Kakraba employs a truly innovative narrative structure where the omniscient narrator eventually wrests control from Pedro, exposing the protagonist's manipulations and fantasies for what they t...
