G.K. Tuck

G.K. Tuck writes for those who sense the world is changing, and want to meet it with their eyes open.

With a background in computer systems, social work, and independent research, Tuck brings a rare blend of technical insight and human empathy to his work. He has studied digital culture since the early days of the internet, giving seminars on its potential as a revolutionary information system, long before its full impact was felt.

His travels and frontline experiences, including time spent in Yugoslavia before its collapse, shaped his understanding of power, propaganda, and the psychology of belief. These real-world lessons drive his deep dive into how tribalism, technology, and institutional control distort modern thought.

Tuck is the author of Tribes, Lies, and Power: Ending the War on Our Minds and The Emergence of the Algorithmic Mind. His writing challenges readers not with ideology, but with questions, designed to spark courage, reflection, and the will to stay human in an increasingly artificial world.

“I don’t write to impress,” he says. “I write to think out loud—and invite others to do the same.”
