CONTROL

Who controls the systems that organise everyday life? The Control edition asks the question that power would prefer you not to ask.

Surveillance capitalism. Operant conditioning deployed at platform scale. The algorithm as a new form of censorship. The Control edition gathers clothing and objects connected to Pen vs Sword Magazine's writing on digital power, behavioural science and the systems that shape what we think, buy and believe.

This is where the Propaganda Department's political range meets its analysis of contemporary power. The Enemy Is Listening. The systems are not neutral. Knowing that is the first step.

THE ANALYSIS:
→ B.F. Skinner and behavioural conditioning
→ Social Media's Double Edge - activism and surveillance
→ Big Tech and Democracy
→ Language, Media and Truth - who controls the narrative
