Howard Atkins is a thought-driven author focused on the intersection of power, technology, belief systems, and human behavior. His work examines how societies drift toward control—not through sudden collapse, but through normalized decisions made in the name of security, progress, and order. Drawing from historical patterns, modern political movements, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital surveillance, Atkins writes cautionary narratives that challenge readers to think critically about the future being built around them. Rather than offering comfort, his writing asks difficult questions: Who holds power? Who designs the systems we live under? And at what point does protection become domination? 2040: Is This the End We Want? is his most ambitious work to date—an urgent, unsettling exploration of where unchecked authority and technological obedience can lead if left unchallenged.
