This book is a no bullshit translation of Byung-Chul Han's The Burnout Society, providing language for what's happening to you. Han predicted a world where freedom becomes compulsion and everyone becomes their own harshest boss. SYSTEM ERROR explains how Achievement Society exploits you more thoroughly than any external force ever could, turning you into the "entrepreneur of the self" where extraction never stops. You are not failing because you are weak. You are failing because you have been set up to fail. Your exhaustion, anxiety, and depression are predictable responses to an overdose of stimulation and demand. When you collapse, you blame yourself because there is "no external enemy". This book helps you recognize the "Prison of Yes We Can" so you can stop mistaking compulsion for freedom. The path forward begins with the radical refusal: No, I won’t.
