A radicalizing, curtain-pulling exploration of how corporate branding swallowed the world and how we might take it back.
What it feels like
Reading this feels like putting on a pair of glasses that suddenly reveals the hidden machinery of the modern world. It is a steady, deeply researched immersion into the ways corporate branding has infiltrated every corner of culture, education, and public space. The mood is both heavy with the weight of systemic exploitation and electric with the possibility of resistance. The prose is sharp and journalistic, guiding you through complex global supply chains and marketing strategies with an impassioned, authoritative voice. It moves from a suffocating diagnosis of consumerism to a mobilizing call to action. This is a foundational text for anyone who wants to look past the glossy veneer of advertising and understand the true cost of the brands that define our lives.
