We conclude the 2025 edition of Future Fragments with the publication of I'll Be Your Mirror — a reflective, essayistic exploration of technology as the contemporary mirror. Inspired by Lou Reed’s lyrics, the book investigates how technology does not seduce but reveals; how images produced by cameras, algorithms, and artificial intelligence become a new organ of perception, acting beyond the human eye.

It traces the shifting economy of visuality — from Flusser’s technical images and Farocki’s operational images to Kate Crawford’s metabolic visual systems. As vision migrates into machines, technology becomes a mirror that exposes who we are: our desires, our fears, and the things we refuse to see.

I'll Be Your Mirror is also a meditation on the relational nature of AI, on the ontology of things, and on the shadow side of technological development, where innovation meets power, surveillance, and mimetic rivalry. The book weaves these fragments of contemporary thought into a single reflective surface — a mirror without a soul, helping us see ourselves anew.
