Synopsis

What if everything you believe about yourself, your memories, your choices-even time itself-is a carefully constructed illusion?

The Fabricated Mind is a bold philosophical exploration of how human reality is not discovered, but invented. Drawing on insights from psychology, neuroscience, and the architecture of thought, Harsa Khan dismantles our deepest assumptions about identity, morality, consciousness, and belief. This book challenges the reader to see life not as it appears, but as it is: a magnificent deception shaped by biology, culture, and the mind's need for order.

From the illusion of free will to the role of language in shaping thought, from simulated emotions to the psychology of religion-this is a journey through the theater of the mind, where each chapter peels away another layer of comforting fiction. It does not offer escape, but awareness.

Perfect for readers of cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and psychological introspection, this book dares you to face the mirror-and question whether anyone is truly there.
