The Twittering Machine is an unflinching view into the calamities of digital life: the circus of online trolling, flourishing alt-right subcultures, pervasive corporate surveillance, and the virtual data mines of Facebook and Google where we spend considerable portions of our free time. Richard Seymour shows how the digital world is changing the ways we speak, write, and think.
What The Reviewers Say
...excellent.
Seymour means to horrify us, and he succeeds.
As Seymour promises, his book is 'a horror story'.
This bleak book is a bracing tour through the social and political context and impact of Twitter and Facebook, exploring Gamergate to Isis to Trump’s Twitter presidency.
