Cracks in the Machine: The Hidden Structure of Freedom in a Determinist World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789198834529)

How can real agency exist if everything is caused? Cracks in the Machine argues that freedom can emerge recursively inside deterministic systems - when agents learn to revise the rules that shape them. Blending philosophy, cognitive science, and systems thinking, it offers a non-mystical account of choice and change, engaging Harris, Sapolsky, Dennett, and Gödel. For readers seeking a constructive path beyond determinism, with practical insights on self-modification and direction under constraints.
