The hijacking of our minds is a silent epidemic. In the digital age, the concept of mind hijacking has transcended the boundaries of science fiction, becoming a palpable reality that affects billions of individuals around the globe. This phenomenon isn't always orchestrated by malevolent forces in a dark room but it is a consequence of the intricate interplay between technology, psychology, and the insatiable appetite of the modern economy for our attention, our data and of course, our money. Someone or something is always trying to 'sell you'; it could be a product, a program, a philosophy, a religion, a story or an image, but they can't sell you anything if you're not paying attention, so their priority is to get your attention at all costs. Their mission is to make you look. And keep looking. Or listening. To make you stay. To get you engaged. No matter what. To make you believe you need whatever it is they're selling. To hijack your mind.
