    This is an ad for a book. There are no specifics, no citations, and no real information outside of when the book comes out and who it’s by. This is not journalism, it’s an infamatory title given to a teaser for a book that’s about to come out.

    I would be really worried about authoritarian states using this on their own citizens. Imagine a government using drugs to keep people inline.
