The Mind in the Wheel

In a near-future Silicon Valley where psychology’s old guard is crumbling, renegade scientist Adam Mastrelli becomes the unlikely torchbearer for a radical new vision: cybernetic psychology. Inspired by the viral, cryptic treatises of the pseudonymous collective Slime Mold Time Mold (SMTM), Adam launches a high-stakes crusade to operationalize the mind as a living network of feedback loops—one that can be hacked, optimized, or even replicated. As tech giants, government agencies, and academic traditionalists scramble to seize control of this paradigm, Adam is thrust into a dizzying web of alliances and betrayals. SMTM, equal parts mentor and trickster, guide him through the labyrinth, but their true motives remain as fluid as their online avatars. When the race to build artificial minds based on the new model yields an AI with chillingly human quirks and unpredictable desires, the world is forced to confront the ultimate question: is humanity’s essence just a system of error signals, or is something ineffable lost in translation? As therapy apps rewrite personalities in real time and brain-machine interfaces blur the line between healing and manipulation, Adam grapples with the ethical abyss opening at his feet. Will he shepherd cybernetic psychology into a force for human flourishing—or will his creation fracture the boundaries of identity, autonomy, and consciousness, unleashing consequences no one can control?
