The Cult of Control When an introverted tech geek accidentally discovers mind control, he and his friends do something unexpected - they put the science into a meditation app to help users break their technology addiction.

Who's in control? Collects the entire, smash and super-hot, best-selling 6-issue series! From in-demand writer Zack Kaplan (ECLIPSE, PORT OF EARTH, THE LOST CITY EXPLORERS, JOIN THE FUTURE, BREAK OUT, METAL SOCIETY, FOREVER FORWARD) and star artist John J. Pearson (2021 Eisner Award winner along with Anand RK for BLUE IN GREEN (Image Comics)) For fans of Black Mirror, Halt and Catch Fire, graphic novel The Department of Truth, and for fans of technothriller writers Dave Eggers (The Circle, The Every), Blake Crouch (Recursion), and Douglas E. Richards (The Enigma Cube), for readers interested in the CIA's two decade-long MK Ultra mind control experiments, and readers interested in the impact of tech on society. "This twisty and cynical thriller cleverly situates itself at the intersection of heated debates about social media, tech giants, and social inequality." -- Publishers Weekly "What an AMAZING, disturbing first issue this was! Every godd*** book @thevaultcomics puts out is a must-read." - Patton Oswalt (actor, comedian, writer) "Mind-blowing art. A chilling concept. The perfect technothriller..." - Cavan Scott (New York Times bestselling author: Star Wars: The High Republic) "Mindset ...is an uncompromising and engaging vision. A terrifying look in the dark mirror we all need. 10/10." -- Comics Bookcase "Fans of The Social Network and tales of corporate espionage will snap this up." -- Publishers Weekly "For my money, Mindset is one of the best books being published. 10/10" - Big Comic Page "... a stunning combination of The Graduate and Leigh Whannell's Upgrade, blending the ethical implications of revolutionary technology with a murder mystery rooted in that same tech. - Comic Watch "Mindset ... is a form of brainwashing itself, drawing one in and leaving one with a desire for more. 10/10" - Comic Watch "Mindset isn't your standard psychological thriller. In fact, it turns the entire genre on its head, introducing a wildly fresh take on mind control and the dangers of social media and influencer marketing. " - ComicBook.com "Mindset ... is a terrific science fiction tale, creepier because it hits so close to home." - Major Spoilers "Mindset would've been on the list of best series of the year on the strength of its art and premise alone. The theme of cell phone and internet influence over our free will is incredibly important to our modern-day life. But, coupled with the thrilling story of big tech mystery and the multilayered exploration of existential themes, I would argue that Mindset is the very best comic series of the year." - AIPT "Mindset is ... an imaginative, unrestrained triumph." - CBR "One of the most compelling and relevant books on the stands." - Comics Beat
