This book presents a sharp and reflective exploration of contemporary society, power, belief systems, and human behavior. Beginning with the mechanisms of agents and the contrast between intelligence and intellect, it moves through time, ideology, and social change. Central to the work is Stringent Consent: Facts and Fumes, a section that examines domestic dissent, identity, caste, extremism, democracy, and religious thought through critical essays. By connecting historical influences with modern realities, the book challenges assumptions, provokes debate, and encourages rational inquiry. It is an engaging read for thinkers seeking clarity amid social, political, and ideological complexities.
