The Warrior's Garden: Tools for Guarding Your Mind Against Big Tech
In a world dominated by screens and algorithms, who is truly in control?
Every time you pick up the phone, you’re being manipulated. With every site you visit and post you make, your behavior is being tracked. Your habits are sold to the highest bidder—and you’ve probably provided them with your uninformed consent.
Richard Ryan, a seasoned tech insider, unveils the hidden dynamics between you and Big Tech in The Warrior’s Garden. Rather than a call to abandon all devices, this book is a challenge to recognize how platforms like YouTube and Facebook subtly shape behavior and monopolize attention. Richard guides you through a personal assessment of your digital habits, offering tools to reclaim your time and mental space.

Saftey or Control?
The Warrior's Garden showed you how Big Tech fights for your attention. The next book follows the money into something bigger: an economy built on watching you.
“I have nothing to hide. Why should I care?” Your doorbell, your car, your kid's classroom, your credit card, your face. Everything in your life is data point being collected and someone is buying. This is a story about the surveillance technology operating right now, in the ordinary objects of your life and sold from private companies to the government and any other bidder.
