The ideas behind TECO Village didn't come from a weekend workshop or a fleeting impulse. They came from years of deep research, personal crisis, and a relentless desire to understand why modern life feels so heavy — and what we can actually do about it.
These two books are the foundation. They expose the hidden systems that keep us exhausted, indebted, and disconnected. And they offer a clear, uncompromising path toward genuine freedom.
Every single rupee of profit goes straight into building TECO Village.
How Our Lives Slipped Out of Our Hands
What if your exhaustion, your debt, your loneliness, and your hunger are not accidents — but products of a deliberate, centuries‑old system? From Hunger to Slavery is the book that goes deeper into history, tracing the long, quiet theft of the things that make life possible: water, land, seeds, health, time, attention, and faith.
You'll travel through:
The story of water — how a free, sacred resource became a commodity sold back to us in plastic bottles.
The story of seeds — how farmers went from saving their own seeds to being sued for doing so.
The story of health — how our bodies became markets for pharma companies, and why we've forgotten how to heal ourselves.
The story of debt — how the banking system was designed to keep you working, not to make you wealthy.
The story of education — how schools were built to produce obedient workers, not free thinkers.
The story of media, religion, and patriotism — the tools that keep us distracted, divided, and compliant.
This is not a history book. It's your story. And it ends with a question: what are you going to do about it?
Where Nature & Humanity Heal Together
What's the real cost of your lifestyle — not to your wallet, but to the Earth, to the future, and to your own soul?
This is the book that started it all. The Final Question takes you on a journey through the hidden machinery of modern society — your brain, your habits, the global economy, and the quiet, relentless destruction of the planet.
You'll discover:
The Earth Cost — why your ₹400 T‑shirt actually costs ₹872, and who really pays the difference.
The neuroscience of mindless consumption — how your limbic brain is being hacked by marketers, social media, and fast food giants, and how to wake up your neocortex.
The 5% and the 95% — who controls the world's wealth, why they're building bunkers and planning for Mars, and what it means for the rest of us.
The blueprint of TECO Village — how a small, intentional community can become a living answer to the crisis, blending technology, ecology, and deep human connection.
This is not a book of easy answers. It's a book of hard questions — and a map to a different life.
Prem Prakash Maurya is a writer, researcher, and the founder of TECO Village. After spending a decade studying economics, neuroscience, and ecology — and after losing his own job on a cold Delhi night in 2016 — he dedicated his life to understanding and exposing the systems that keep modern humans enslaved.
His books are not academic exercises. They are personal, urgent, and unfiltered. All proceeds go toward building the first TECO Village.
