Everyday objects increasingly do more than serve.

When Objects Decide examines real-world cases where ordinary design elements quietly take on decision-making power. Wheels lock, paths narrow, doors pause, bins instruct, and spaces enforce behavior without explanation or consent.

These systems do not rely on rules or confrontation. They rely on structure. Once authority is built into objects, compliance becomes automatic and resistance becomes impractical.

This book traces how convenience, safety, and efficiency transform into control - not intentionally, but inevitably.
