In recent years, rapid innovations in generative AI and social media technologies have enabled fake news to explode across our social media accounts and TV screens.
Post-truth political content now routinely manipulates our realities, microtargeting us, exploiting our desires and turning our fears against us. It is an age where politics run on emotion, not cognition, and where the democratization of disinformation has spawned a whole new global industry of disinformation entrepreneurs. It has amplified polarization, using hate, anger and fear as its oxygen.
Fake news continues to bolster levels of right-wing populism not seen since the 1930''s. If left unchallenged, it will continue to place its jackboot ever harder against the upturned face of democracy. Post-Truth Politics: A Brave New World? empowers voters to fight back. It provides, for the first time, a complete view of the global disinformation ecosystem: who is targeting us, how we are microtargeted, and which evolutionary, technological, marketing, neurological and military approaches are being used to manipulate us. This non-partisan book will resonate with all supporters of democracy (conservative, liberal, centrist), alongside academics in fields as diverse as media studies, sociology, politics, marketing, military studies and creative writing.
