In The New Sociology of Science, Boris Kriger delivers a direct challenge to the institutional foundations of modern science. The book argues that truth alone has never been enough — and is not even decisive. What determines whether an idea becomes science is not its correctness, but its ability to pass through fragile, often distorted social channels of persistence. Reinterpreting Auguste Comte, Kriger overturns the classical view: sociology is not the highest science — it is the hidden condition without which no science exists at all. From this follows a disturbing conclusion.

You keep secrets from the world. But did you know your own body keeps secrets from you? Right now, as you listen to this sentence, your immune system is waging a war you will never feel. Your cells are partitioning information with a sophistication that would humble the CIA. Your brain—that magnificent engine of curiosity—is processing ten billion bits per second while graciously allowing you to be aware of roughly fifty. The rest? Classified. Need-to-know basis. And you, apparently, do not need to know. Secrecy is not a human invention.

Every atom in your body has already been replaced. You didn’t notice. You didn’t stop being you. So what makes you you? It’s not the matter. The atoms in your brain right now aren’t the same ones that were there ten years ago. Neuroscience says your consciousness comes from how your brain is organized and how it functions, not from which specific carbon atoms happen to be sitting in your neurons on any given Tuesday. Mark Douglas spent decades following that observation to its logical end. The conclusion is not what you’d expect.

What if one of modern society’s most powerful ideas was never a biological truth at all? Race Isn’t Real —But It Changed Everything is a sharp, fearless investigation into one of humanity’s most deeply ingrained —and most misunderstood —social constructs.

As the climate emergency worsens and biodiversity shrinks, we somehow get used to it. We struggle to remember what summers were like before the unrelenting heat, in those years before wildfires became an annual routine. We adapt, we normalize. Scientists call this "shifting baseline syndrome,"...

You are not imagining it. The years really are getting shorter. Not on any clock, not on any calendar — but inside the three pounds of tissue between your ears, something has changed. The summers that once stretched into lazy eternities now collapse into a long weekend. A decade vanishes like a coin in a magician's hand. And the unsettling sense that you are being robbed of time — that life is accelerating toward some finish line you never agreed to approach — is shared by nearly everyone who has lived long enough to notice it.
