HACKABLE HUMANS
A Theological Reckoning with AI, Surveillance & the Unhackable Life
There is a formula for making a human being predictable. It already has your data.
The question this book won’t let you avoid
In 1986, a software engineer showed the world that a system could be compromised so completely that no amount of inspecting the code would ever reveal the intrusion. He called it Reflections on Trusting Trust. His point, stated plainly: you can only be hacked where you believe you cannot be reached.
Decades later, a different kind of formula arrived — this one aimed not at machines, but at you. Biological knowledge. Computing power. Data. Multiply the three together and you get something no tyrant in history has ever had access to: the ability to understand a human being better than that human being understands themselves, and to shape their decisions, desires, and beliefs with a precision they cannot detect and therefore cannot resist.
That formula is not theoretical. It is operating on you right now, through the phone in your pocket, the currency in your account, the algorithm curating what you believe is simply “the news,” and the slow, patient re-engineering of what an entire generation is being taught about the body, the family, and the self.
Hackable Humans is the book that names what is happening — and the one thing about the human person that no algorithm, no surveillance architecture, and no digital chain has ever found a way to reach.
Three kinds of people are alive on the earth right now
Not economic classes. Not political tribes. Not personality types. Something older and far more consequential.
The fallen man. Not every person who has sinned — that would be everyone. A specific, deliberate, knowing partnership with the adversary of God and man, prosecuted through the seven mountains of cultural influence, and armed in this generation with tools no previous era of darkness has ever possessed.
The sapiens. The vast majority. Ignorant, weary, distracted, hungry for meaning, addicted to validation, governed by the fear of what other people think — not because they are foolish, but because they are operating without the one thing that makes a human being ungovernable by anything less than God. This is where most of the world lives. It is where a great many sincere, church-attending believers live too, without ever knowing it.
The new creation. Born again. Spirit-sealed. Mind renewed. Living above the system that owns everyone else. Not because they are stronger, smarter, or more disciplined — because there is nothing left in them for the prince of this world to use.
The Bible has always described these three categories. This book applies them, with theological precision and unflinching honesty, to artificial intelligence, digital currency, surveillance capitalism, smart cities, and the systematic re-engineering of everything you thought was permanent about being human.
Why this book exists now
You already sense that something has shifted. The always-on phone. The currency that could, in principle, be told what it will and will not buy. The algorithm that seems to know your fears before you’ve named them yourself. The pace of life that never allows for genuine rest, and therefore never allows for genuine discernment.
Hackable Humans traces every one of these developments back to a single, ancient strategy — the same one that spoke through a serpent in a garden, built a tower on a plain in Shinar, and erected a golden image on the plain of Dura. The tools have changed. The tactic has not.
This is not a book about being afraid of technology. It is a book about understanding exactly what you are dealing with, and discovering that the God who has been governing this story since before the foundation of the world has already provided everything required to walk through it — untouched, unshaken, and unhackable.
What's Inside
Who This Book is Written For
This book was written for the Christian professional closing deals in rooms where Kingdom values are not the default assumption. For the entrepreneur building something that has to survive contact with a commercial system built on extraction. For the pastor and ministry leader watching cultural pressure reshape doctrine one reasonable-sounding accommodation at a time. For the parent trying to raise image-bearers inside a formation system engineered to produce something else entirely.
If you carry influence, and you have ever felt the specific, quiet exhaustion of trying to lead well in a world that seems to be actively working against your discernment — this book was written directly to you.
A word from the author
“I did not set out to write a book about technology. I set out to understand why so many sincere believers — capable, intelligent, hardworking people — were living lives functionally indistinguishable from the world around them. The deeper I went, the clearer it became: the tools of this present age are simply the newest expression of the oldest strategy in existence. Once you see the strategy, you can never again mistake the tools for neutral. And once you understand what genuine new creation life actually offers, you stop wanting anything the system has to give.”
— David Omondi
Why This Book is Different
This is not a book that treats artificial intelligence, digital currency, and cultural change as isolated headlines to be reacted to one at a time. It is not a book that trades in vague alarm or unfounded speculation. And it is not a book that offers technology avoidance as the solution to a spiritual problem.
Hackable Humans does something more demanding: it builds the full theological case, from Genesis to Revelation, for why these developments are the current expression of a strategy as old as the fall of Lucifer — and it builds, with equal rigor, the full theological case for the one condition of the human heart that the strategy has never once been able to overcome.
Expect deep exposition of Scripture. Expect direct engagement with the specific mechanics of the technologies shaping the present age. Expect historical case studies drawn from Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. And expect to be asked, more than once, which of the three categories in this book you actually belong to.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a book about conspiracy theories?
No. Every claim in this book about artificial intelligence, digital currency, surveillance, and cultural change is grounded in documented, observable developments — the same developments already being discussed in technology policy, financial regulation, and public health circles. What this book adds is not speculation. It’s a theological framework for understanding why these developments follow such a consistent, ancient pattern, and what to do about it.
Do I need to read Built for Exploits first?
No. Hackable Humans stands on its own. Readers of Built for Exploits will recognize the same conviction about identity in Christ running underneath both books, but you can start here.
Is this book only for Christians?
It’s written from a thoroughly biblical worldview and assumes the reader is willing to engage Scripture as authoritative. That said, anyone wrestling honestly with what technology and cultural change are doing to the human person will find the diagnosis in Sections Two and Three immediately recognizable, whatever their starting point.
How long is it, and what should I expect?
This is a substantial, 48-chapter work organized into four sections, written for the reader who wants the full theological and practical case laid out rather than a quick summary. It rewards being read in order, section by section, though each chapter can also stand alone for study or teaching.
The world is waiting for what only you can build.
Heaven is backing what only you can execute.
Your generation needs what only you can deliver.
Framework installed. Access open. Assignment clear.
Now execute.
Read it with the expectation that what you carry is more powerful
than what the era is building. Because it is.
