What happens when a mind stops thinking for itself?The Precipice of Dependence exposes the quiet erosion of human sovereignty in an age where systems think, interpret, and decide on our behalf. Christopher Julian Lowery reveals how dependence forms, how the inner voice fades, and how originality collapses under constant input — and then shows how individuals reclaim presence, agency, and meaning.The first volume in The Lineage of the Mind Series, this book is a clear, compelling guide to staying fully human in a world built to replace human thought.
