Cybernetics posits a provocative idea: human beings, much like gears and levers, can be understood as mechanisms—feedback hubs processing information under the governance of control systems.

As long as he remains perfectly still, time itself ceases to flow, freezing the world around him in an unyielding stasis. But this power is merely the first thread in a far greater tapestry, for the ability to halt time is nothing more than a single, incidental facet of the ancient and perilous discipline he is about to uncover.
