I got asked by people for some book recommendations to understand the present political moment. Obviously, my book “QAnon and On” is about social media, extremism and disinformation pipelines: the below books are excellent and make great comprehensive reading.
Nina Jankowicz’s “How to Lose the Information War”, Talia Lavin’s “Culture Warlords” and “Wild Faith”, Bruce Wolpe’s “Trump’s Australia”. Start there.
