The Marketplace of Selves

On identity, attention, and survival

The Marketplace of Selves is not a manifesto.
It is a mirror.

In a world where attention has become currency and expression has become labor, most people adapt quietly. They learn what travels, what stalls, and what disappears—often without noticing how those lessons reshape how they speak, feel, and even think.

This book explores what happens when visibility is no longer neutral, when metrics act like gravity, and when certain emotions become safer to show than others. It examines how performance becomes internalized, how agreement replaces honesty, and how people begin rehearsing for audiences that aren’t there.

The Marketplace of Selves does not offer strategies, solutions, or advice. It offers something rarer: the ability to see the pressures shaping modern behavior before agreement is ever given.

This is a short, quiet book.
It doesn’t ask you to quit, rebel, or fix anything.
It asks you to notice.

If that noticing matters to you, this book opens into the LibertyTruth series—an ongoing body of work concerned with clarity, discernment, and internal contact in a performative world. The exploration continues elsewhere, without urgency, and on your terms.

You don’t have to agree.
You don’t have to act yet.
You only need to see.
