More about the book

Exploring the philosophical desire for omnipotence, the book delves into the human inclination to seek god-like control and the struggle to accept its unattainability. It examines the implications of this yearning on personal identity and societal structures, drawing on insights from Bertrand Russell. Through thought-provoking analysis, it challenges readers to reflect on their aspirations and the nature of power, ultimately confronting the limits of human capability and the search for meaning in a complex world.
