Description

Do you ever feel the silent hum of unease beneath the noise of modern life? The sense that, for all our unprecedented connectivity, we've never been more powerless?

You are not alone. You are part of the Voiceless Majority: Shadows of Democracy, a vast, silent population disenfranchised not by a lack of votes, but by a sophisticated and often invisible system of control that operates in the shadows of our democracy.

From the unique perspective of a computer technologist and researcher in philosophy and psychology, Al Mahmud Al Mamun deconstructs the architecture of our discontent. This is not just another political commentary; it is a systemic, 24-chapter diagnosis of our time—a journey into the psychology and the narratives that manufacture our silence.

Inside, you will discover:

How the "New Leviathan" of state surveillance and corporate technology erodes our most fundamental freedoms. The "Coded Bias" is embedded in the algorithms that automate inequality and silence dissent on a global scale. The psychological traps of "Learned Helplessness" and the "Futility of Outrage" in our performative political culture. The rise of the "Precariat" and the direct line between economic insecurity and political instability. Why facts no longer change our minds and how we became trapped in the "Cognitive Ghettos" of modern democracy.

But Voiceless Majority is not a eulogy for democracy; it is a blueprint for its rebirth. Moving beyond critique, this book offers a powerful and hopeful vision for the future—a call to reclaim our public spaces, to build a new solidarity in a fragmented world, and to reimagine democracy itself through bold innovations such as Citizens' Assemblies and a new charter of rights for the technological citizen.

This is not just a book; it is a tool for understanding, a catalyst for conversation, and a defiant call to action. If you've ever felt that the system is broken and wondered how to begin the work of repair, this is the book you've been waiting for. It is the first step in learning how to amplify the signal and, together, break the silence.
