Fake ID by Abdu Murray

Could there be a more culturally relevant discussion right now?

You know you are on to a good theory when it is able to explain current observations, and even better, when it can predict future events or discoveries. Not only will you be able to use this resource to explain current – and predict future – observations in social media, politics, psychology, sociology, and newsworthy events, but also you will be able to identify and disarm the pair of intellectual predators currently preying on our culture, especially our youth.

Fake ID discusses these predators, Bioclasm and AI Mania, which are ideological movements based on gender identity and AI respectively. Murray walks the hard line of showing genuine care for the people involved, while simultaneously attacking the ideas involved. I like his approach as ideas do not have feelings to hurt, but false ideas do create victims. And Murray provides a fitting analogy of these two false movements rising as two cultural tsunamis emanating from the seaquake of a post-truth culture.

While I currently have been given only the first couple chapters to preview, the book set the stage enticingly enough to get the book as soon as I can. I know the public release will be February 3rd in Amazon, Goodreads, Barnes & Nobles, Christianbooks, and other locations.

If Murray successfully exposes these two movements as tsunamis of artificial reality, which collapse accurate foundations of objective truth and sweep victims into the depths of an artificial sea of self or culturally created false understandings, then this book can be the warning siren for yourself and those close to you. The benefits to readers, who respond to the sirens the book projects and escape the flood of terrible consequences sweeping over those who do not, can be life-changing. Statistics will inescapable show the results of these tsunamis.

I have bought every book written by this author. Abdu is a close friend, but I don’t let this bias get in the way of my limited time and resources. The reason I keep investing in this writer is: I have found his style engaging, his stories relevant and attention-grabbing, and the increase in usable knowledge impressive compared to the vast majority of other sources of information. Hoping for the best for this author and for his readers.
