An exploration of the dark art of manipulation through weaponized storytelling.
What The Reviewers Say
Newitz is so skillful at elucidating such a tangled, morally contentious history that I never felt lost, though I sometimes thought that the word "psyop" was doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Looking even just at our recent history, Newitz has written what should be essential reading for our current world and years to come..
The author makes a convincing case that the 21st-century epidemic of intolerance, invective, and authoritarian movements is as American as apple pie.
