Twenty Last Dates
Twenty Last Dates
In this laugh-out-loud dark comedy about modern romance, one woman over 55 survives twenty truly horrible dates and bravely reports back from the digital dating jungle.
Whether you’re 25 or 75, you’ll recognize the madness. Swipe left on sanity and right on disaster in this brutally funny, occasionally cringeworthy, razor- sharp tale about searching for connection in the age of apps. When you're old enough to know better but still hopeful enough to try.
There’s the man who still lives with his wife (for “convenience”), the first date who delivers a full medical history before the coffee arrives, and the gentleman whose impressive stories collapse the moment the check arrives. Add in decade-old photos, creative truths, and enough red flags to decorate a parade, and you have dating in our time.
Smart, biting, and painfully funny, this book proves that sometimes the only winning move in modern love is to laugh... and order dessert alone.

MANUFACTURED MINDS: The Invisible Architecture of Algorithmic Control and the Art of Opting Out
MANUFACTURED MINDS:
The Invisible Architecture of Algorithmic Control and the Art of Opting Out
They didn't target your child's attention. They targeted the window before your child could defend it.
Internal documents unsealed in 2026 reveal how major platforms segment children by "age of acquisition" — tracking lifetime revenue projections that are three to five times higher for children captured before age ten. Their internal term for these children is not "users."
It is native integrations.
Your child wasn't exposed to the algorithm. Your child was installed by it. Before identity formed. Before the prefrontal cortex could push back. Before you knew there was a window — and that the window was closing.
Screen time limits don't work. The platforms' own suppressed research proves it: by month six, restrictions return usage to within five percent of baseline. The parental controls weren't built to protect your child. They were built to protect the platform from the appearance of not protecting your child.
Manufactured Minds gives you what the platforms spent billions making sure you'd never have:
- The truth about the "installation window" — and how to close it before the machine opens it
- Age-adapted protocols for every stage: Foundations (4–9), Awakening (10–13), Sovereignty (14–17)
- The Cognitive Immune System — the one capacity the algorithm's entire business model depends on your child never developing
- The Family Freedom Compass — a shared household tool that turns your liberation into theirs
- The Algorithm Spotter, the Choice Game, the Maker Hour, and the Identity Journal — practices that build minds the feed cannot predict
You started this book reaching for your phone. You will finish it reaching for your child's hand.
The platforms called your children native integrations.
This book turns them into native immunities.
K. R. Strand — Researcher, rebel, and survivor of the attention economy.
Your thoughts aren't yours anymore. They're predicted, shaped, and sold — every scroll, pause, and hesitation harvested to keep you hooked, divided, and compliant. Platforms don't recommend content. They engineer your reality. And they're terrified you'll notice. Manufactured Minds is the book that makes you notice — then hands you the escape keys.
THIS IS NOT ANOTHER BOOK ABOUT SCREEN TIME. Every chapter answers the question the previous one planted. Every exercise compounds. By the final page, you won't have merely read about opting out — you'll have performed your own escape.
