To inspire. To carry the weight of your own myth?\nMaybe you built something people believe in.\nOr maybe you’ve just gotten really good at pretending.\nEither way, welcome to your God Complex.\nThis isn’t self-help. It’s not a parody either. It’s something stranger.\nGod Complex for Beginners is a satirical and uncategorizable exploration of belief, leadership, algorithmic power, and the manifestation of divinity in contemporary life. God Complex for Beginners is a postmodern user manual for anyone who’s created something bigger than themselves—and then quietly wondered what it’s costing them.\n\nEqual parts cosmic philosophy, startup gospel, and poetic breakdown, it’s what happens when Nietzsche meets UX design—with a side of AI ethics and immaculate branding.\n\nWritten for the modern deity-in-crisis—founders, leaders, influencers, visionaries—this book explores what happens when belief becomes branding, followers become an algorithm, and your own creation stops asking permission.\nYou’ll learn: How to delegate to AI without losing your throne Why adoration feels like drowning in applause How to plant thoughts in others (without being blamed) How to be worshipped without losing your soul Why your deepest beliefs might be hallucinations And how to exit the myth gracefully—before they turn you into merch It’s satire with a soul.\nMythology for the age of microdosing and metrics.\nAnd it’s unlike anything you’ve read before.\n\nNaza Semoniff, the author of The Consent of Shadows, is a translator and a literary shape-shifter who explores belief, illusion, and the consequences of widespread worship.\n\nIf you’ve ever doubted the gods—especially the one you’re becoming—this book sees you.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0F9FNCWZ8\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0F9FNCWZ8.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Semoniff, Naza\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
