You Are Not Alive

What if your thoughts aren’t yours? What if your “self” is a glitch—and your soul never existed at all? You Are Not Alive is not another feel-good philosophy book. It’s a brutal dismantling of every comforting illusion you were raised to believe.

From ghosts and free will to karma, morality, and meaning itself, Jason Ostendorf takes you on an unapologetic journey through science, psychology, and dark logic—offering no lifelines, no gods, and no sugarcoated lies.

This book is for those who don’t scare easy. If you’ve ever suspected there’s no “you” behind your eyes—only electricity, memory, and motion—then this might be the only philosophy book you'll ever read twice. Not to feel better. But to finally stop pretending.
