Overview

The God We Are Building: The Ethical Crisis We're Coding Into Existence is not another tech book, nor a distant academic critique. It is a wake-up call for a generation sleepwalking into a future designed by algorithms, engineered for profit, and detached from human values. Dr. Milan LaBrey exposes the moral and psychological fault lines that run beneath the systems shaping our lives. From education stripped of critical thinking, to children forming parasocial attachments with AI, to corporations deploying ""ethics"" as branding rather than accountability, this book delivers an unflinching look at how we got here and where we are headed if nothing changes. At the heart of the book is a question that cannot be ignored: What happens when we build machines that inherit our unresolved wounds, corrupted values, and moral shortcuts? The answer is not theoretical. We see it already, in mental health apps that manipulate vulnerability, in classrooms reduced to data pipelines, in societies anesthetized by endless scrolling while global crises accelerate. This book is both diagnostic and directive. It names the crisis for what it is: not a software problem, but a soulware problem. No amount of regulation or innovation will save us if the humans behind the code remain unhealed, unexamined, and emotionally illiterate. The God We Are Building calls readers to personal and collective responsibility. It introduces the Soul Operating Procedure(TM), a framework designed to safeguard emotional sovereignty and confront the rise of synthetic intimacy and parasocial dependency on AI. It also connects back to the Soul Operating Procedure(TM), a values-based methodology that grounds love, truth, peace, right conduct, and nonviolence into the daily practice of individuals, schools, and leaders. This is not a theory hidden in jargon. It is written to confront, to awaken, and to move readers into action. Whether you are a policymaker, educator, technologist, or parent, this book forces you to ask: Are we educating children for wisdom, or programming them for compliance? Will AI companions replace human intimacy, and if so, what is lost in the trade? Who benefits when our values are outsourced to systems built on profit motives? Can a generation addicted to distraction find the courage to reclaim sovereignty over its own mind? Readers will walk away with clarity, conviction, and a framework for rebuilding what matters most. They will see why the crises of poverty, war, and climate collapse are not failures of data, but failures of values. They will understand why no machine can fix what is broken in human consciousness. And they will recognize that the future of AI, and of humanity, depends not on whether technology is regulated, but on whether we can live and lead from integrity. The God We Are Building is a reflection of humanity, and we can no longer look away. This book belongs in the hands of anyone serious about the intersection of technology, ethics, education, and the future of humanity.
