From shopping carts that lock without warning to aisles that dictate direction, from doors that teach you to wait to bins that train compliance, this book shows how authority is increasingly exercised through design rather than instruction.\u003cbr\u003eThese objects are not accidental. They emerge from liability, efficiency, regulation, and institutional pressure. Once installed, they remove debate. The object decides, and the human adapts.\u003cbr\u003eBased entirely on documented cases, When Objects Decide reveals how modern life is shaped less by laws and more by infrastructure - and why control feels invisible precisely because it works.\u003cbr\u003eIf you are interested in hidden systems, everyday power, and the quiet mechanics of modern authority, this book will permanently change how you see ordinary things.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46860874416279,"sku":"9798279089635","price":854.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798279089635.webp?v=1769959383","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/when-objects-decide-the-hidden-histories-of-designs-that-control-human-behavior-9798279089635","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
