THE HUMAN AND THE COSMOS: A 3-in-1 Collected Edition: A Psychology Guide: A Cosmic Philosophy Theory: An Anti-Humanist Dystopian
A psychology guide.
A cosmic philosophy.
An anti-humanist dystopia.
The Human and the Cosmos is a three-in-one work that connects the inner mechanics of the human mind with the deepest structures of the universe—and the future of civilization.
Book One – The Mind’s Operating System
Presents the mind as a software system composed of evolutionary codes, memory, and consciousness. It offers a clear framework for recognizing emotional patterns, correcting faulty mental codes, and developing self-awareness—without promises of quick fixes.
Book Two – The Big Crunch
Introduces a philosophical model of the universe based on cyclical existence and layered resonance. Concepts such as infinity, time, energy, and consciousness are explored through a unified Move, Unite, Fragment.
Book Three – Children of Jotunheim
A dystopian science fiction narrative that carries the ethical consequences of the previous books. As humanity surpasses its biological limits, the story questions whether intelligence without responsibility leads to evolution—or erasure.
This book is for readers interested
• Psychology and self-observation
• Philosophy of mind and consciousness
• Cosmology and systems thinking
• Thought-provoking science fiction
Read it not to be comforted—but to become aware.
This volume combines three previously published works into a single edition.

About the author
Mehmet Çalışkan
8 books111 followersMehmet Çalışkan is a writer who sees writing not as a comfort zone, but as a field of mental confrontation. His interests are not limited to human psychology; money, power, consciousness, systems, and the cosmos are different facets of the same intellectual trajectory.
His works reject genre expectations. Money Doesn’t Change, But You Can approaches financial freedom not through motivational promises, but through discipline, awareness, and emotional control. Money does not change; what must change is the mental structure of the individual.
Children of Jotunheim is a philosophical science fiction work that deliberately excludes human-centered narratives, placing ideas rather than events at its core. It focuses not on heroes, but on systems; not on emotions, but on the relationships between power and consciousness. Its aim is not to entertain the reader, but to unsettle them.
The Big Crunch presents a metaphysical model that treats the universe not as a static structure, but as a layered and vibrational process. Time, matter, artificial intelligence, and consciousness are reconsidered within this framework. This is not a presentation of a theory, but an ontological challenge.
The Mind’s Operating System is the necessary inward counterpart to this outward journey. It lays bare the mind’s biases, personality structures, and behavioral patterns. It offers no consolation; it offers explanation.
Çalışkan’s books do not offer escape—they demand confrontation.

This book is not a light or passive read — it’s one that invites you to slow down and really think. The way it connects psychology, philosophy, and cosmic ideas is both intriguing and challenging, encouraging deeper self-reflection rather than offering easy answers.
I appreciated how it pushes you to question assumptions about the mind, humanity, and our place in the universe. It’s the kind of book that stays with you, sparking ideas long after you’ve put it down. A great choice for readers who enjoy philosophy, systems thinking, and intellectually stimulating reads.

The Human and the Cosmos is not just a book to be read; it is like a system to be entered.
This intellectual journey, composed of three sections, extends from the inner mechanics of the human mind to the external architecture of the universe, and from there to a dystopian confrontation with civilization and ethics. What I think makes this work stand out is not individual ideas, but the comprehensive worldview it presents.
The first book, The Mind’s Operating System, reframes psychology in the language of software. Thoughts turn into code, emotions into system messages, traumas into faulty programming. This metaphor is not reductive; on the contrary, it clarifies the human experience. I also really like that it doesn’t tell the reader what to do, aiming only for awareness.
The second book, The Big Crunch, expands this metaphor on a cosmic scale. Consciousness, energy, time, and infinity are treated not as abstract mysteries but as interrelated systems tied to universal codes. This section requires some attention and patience; however, by presenting science, philosophy, and metaphysics in a rarely seen conceptual unity, I think it also rewards the reader.
The final book, Children of Jotunheim, actually turns the theories discussed in the first two sections into narrative. From an anti-humanist science fiction perspective, it challenges humanity’s assumed moral superiority, confronting the reader with disturbing ethical realities. This is not a “hopeful” dystopia; I consider it an honest dystopia.
What makes The Human and the Cosmos most special for me is the way it carries its high ambition with moderation. Without claiming absolute truths, it instead offers a framework—a perspective—and leaves the reader free to accept, reject, or rewrite these codes.
This ARC left me with a rarely encountered feeling: I did not feel convinced, but awakened to new questions. I definitely recommend this special work to intellectual readers who enjoy thinking about psychology, philosophy of mind, cosmic theories, ethical science fiction, and systems thinking.

Mehmet Çalışkan, with his upcoming 2026 release The Human and the Cosmos, offers a journey unlike any other. This book is an intellectual "3-in-1" package, housing three distinct worlds under a single cover.
The first section, The Mind's Operation System, builds a bridge from the mind to the cosmos and treats our minds as software running on "silent system errors." The author's "Scan – Debug – Repair" methodology breathes fresh rigor into the personal development literature with an engineering precision. When we recognize the evolutionary "Factory Settings" behind our own behaviors, the philosophical depth of the reading experience grows even richer.
Layered Resonance and Universal Laws, in The Big Crunch section, presents Çalışkan's bold physics-philosophy synthesis: the "Layered Resonance Theory." By reducing the workings of the universe to the codes of Motion, Union, and Fragmentation, he argues that time is an illusion and consciousness is an energy that can exist even within atoms. This chapter is full of provocative questions that challenge classical cosmology models.
An Ethical Warning: Children of Jotunheim is, in my view, the most striking part of the trilogy, giving flesh and bone to theoretical debates through the anti-humanist dystopia titled Children of Jotunheim. In a future where humanity has technologically "divinized" itself, the exploitation it constructs through the hybrid races it creates places a heavy ethical responsibility on the reader. The author’s message is clear: Consciousness is not a privilege, it is a right.
The Human and the Cosmos is not just a book that provides information; it is a "system update" aimed at altering the operating principles of your mind. If you are passionate about psychology, theoretical physics, and philosophy, and are looking for a work that combines ethically driven science fiction with the logic of science and the depth of philosophy—and wraps it all in a compelling narrative—Mehmet Çalışkan’s manifesto deserves a place of honor on your bookshelf.

Mehmet Caliskan’s “THE HUMAN AND THE COSMOS: A 3-in-1 Collected Edition: A Psychology Guide: A Cosmic Philosophy Theory: An Anti-Humanist Dystopian” is a collection of three of the author’s finest works.
The collection includes: “Book One – The Mind’s Operating System,” which presents the mind as a software system composed of evolutionary codes, memory, and consciousness; “Book Two – The Big Crunch,” which presents a philosophical model of the universe based on cyclical existence and layered resonance; and “Book Three – Children of Jotunheim,” a dystopian novel, based on Books One and Two.
Each book in this collection is well-written, insightful, and though-provoking. Please read my detailed reviews for each book on this website for more information.

Cosmic Awareness
A 3-in-1 format book is a brilliant idea! It combines psychology, cosmic philosophy, and science fiction (dystopia). At the same time, it offers a candid—albeit anti-humanistic—look at the mental nature of humans and the cyclical nature of the universe. Overall, I found it to be quite a disturbing read, yet it remains essential for those who strive for deep awareness rather than "easy comfort."
