Mirror Selves Trilogy: The Architecture of the Formatted Human
Mirror Selves Trilogy: The Architecture of the Formatted Human The Mirror Selves Trilogy—Identity Industrial Complex, Copyrighting the Self, and The Shapes of the Self—offers one of the most systematic contemporary analyses of how identity has migrated from lived interiority to formatted visibility. Across its three volumes, Peter Ayolov develops a coherent theoretical architecture that traces the transformation of the self from a psychological and philosophical category into a political, economic, and technological construct. What begins as an inquiry into representation unfolds into a diagnosis of civilizational change: the shift from narrative selfhood to infrastructural identity, from subjectivity to profile, from history to circulation. At the core of the trilogy stands a simple but destabilizing claim: identity no longer precedes representation. It is formatted by it. The trilogy does not treat this as metaphor. It is not a cultural lament about social media narcissism or a nostalgic defense of authenticity. It is an ontological and political thesis. The human being, once imagined as a bearer of interior depth, now appears as a visible configuration inside systems of recognition. The mirror no longer reflects; it produces.
