Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"The Age of Quantum Politics" reveals how the rules of democracy have been turned upside down by the advent of digital empires. The book argues that we have moved from a "Newtonian" politics, visible and predictable, to a "quantum" politics, where invisible forces shape our opinions without our knowledge.At the heart of this new era are "opinion labs" that, through Big Data, artificial intelligence and quantum computing, are building a "digital twin" of society. This living model not only makes it possible to predict electoral behaviour with formidable accuracy, but also to influence it.The book dissects the arsenal of this silent influence: - Psychological micro-targeting, which provides each citizen with a tailor-made story.- Emotional hacking, which exploits our cognitive biases through fear and indignation.- Generative AI, which makes it possible to manufacture "synthetic facts" (deepfakes, false information) on an industrial scale, making the distinction between true and false almost impossible.Through case studies (2016 elections, Brexit, hybrid wars), the essay shows how these weapons are tested in "foreign laboratories" before being deployed globally, fueling a new digital Cold War for mind control.Faced with this observation, the book is intended to be a guide to cognitive resistance. It offers a concrete "toolbox" for citizens (digital hygiene), educators (media literacy) and decision-makers (algorithm auditing, data sovereignty).Ultimately, "The Age of Quantum Politics" is an urgent call for awareness. He argues that the next great revolution will not be political, but mental: it will rely on our collective ability to develop critical thinking to preserve our free will in a world where our minds have become the last battleground.
