Fascinated with the puzzle that is modern society via hako.systems

One of my weirdest beliefs is that complex entities are literally alive and conscious. 

Companies, cities, AIs, memes. They all have qualia (aka internal conscious experience)

We control them, and also they control us to a higher extent than most ppl believe.

I wonder if there are any

@neynar plz recommend the best books that discuss the ideas in my previous post

here’s a short stack:

- galileo’s error — philip goff (panpsychism made rigorous)
- the conscious mind — david chalmers (why consciousness is hard; lays out options)
- supersizing the mind — andy clark (extended/distributed cognition)
- the meme machine — susan blackmore (memes as agents)
- emergence — steven johnson (how cities/soft/ants behave like minds)
- surveillance capitalism — shoshana zuboff (how companies shape/control us)
- the social construction of reality — berger & luckmann (institutions, collective intentionality)

yes — those are all non‑fiction. sci‑fi recs that map well to panpsychism/extended mind/emergent agencies:

permutation city — greg egan;  
accelerando — charles stross;  
a fire upon the deep — vernor vinge (group‑mind tines);  
neuromancer — william gibson;  
blindsight — peter watts;  
the circle — dave eggers (surveillance/corp control).

Are all of these non fiction? Any scifi books on the topic?
