🚨 Distorted Is Now in the World · What’s Inside the 346 Pages
About this episode
Distorted is officially out — and this episode is your map to what’s inside.
In this launch edition of Think First, I walk through the structure of the book, what you’ll find across its five parts, and why it was built the way it was. From gaslighting and institutional process to artificial intelligence, identity, media, medicine, education, and the “fringe” moments when official narratives collide with lived experience — this book is about how distortion operates quietly, and how to resist it.
We’ll explore the chapters readers keep circling, why early reviews mention picking up something new on nearly every page, and how the book arms you with practical tools to see clearly in a culture of manufactured doubt.
The paperback is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, independent bookstores, Harvard Book Store, and The COOP locations in Cambridge serving both Harvard and MIT. A special hardcover edition is available through Barnes & Noble. Digital editions are available everywhere ebooks are sold, and the Audible version is currently being recorded.
If you read it and it resonates, leaving a review wherever you purchased it genuinely helps — the algorithms listen, even when people don’t.
Distorted isn’t a call to outrage. It’s a discipline.
Stay sharp. Stay skeptical. #SpotTheGaslight
