Book Description
They walk among us: a secret network of social media savants with a cunning agenda and an occult-like mystique. Their methods are unusual. Their influence is all-encompassing. They devised Brexit's upstart success. They masterminded Donald Trump's sweeping presidential victory. They may very well be the driving force behind every major happening in recent history, and they do it all from the comfort of their mothers' basements. Or so they would have you believe. They call themselves Meme Magicians. They control the memes, and they control reality. On the Internet, their highly encrypted cyber-dens are deeply hidden from the casual web-goer's glance. In the physical world, they hide in plain sight. This is Baked Alaska's insider account as an initiate in their Order, relayed to you at great personal risk to himself and his loved ones alike. The names have been withheld, some details have been obscured, but the story itself is very real. Think twice before you dive into this book, and then twice more before you dare try your hand at the social fabric-distorting, mass-manipulation techniques encoded within.

Merchants of Truth
Author: Jill Abramson
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 150112322X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
Former executive editor of The New York Times and one of our most eminent journalists Jill Abramson provides a “valuable and insightful” (The Boston Globe) report on the disruption of the news media over the last decade, as shown via two legacy (The New York Times and The Washington Post) and two upstart (BuzzFeed and VICE) companies as they plow through a revolution that pits old vs. new media. “A marvelous book” (The New York Times Book Review), Merchants of Truth is the groundbreaking and gripping story of the precarious state of the news business. The new digital reality nearly kills two venerable newspapers with an aging readership while creating two media behemoths with a ballooning and fickle audience of millennials. “Abramson provides this deeply reported insider account of an industry fighting for survival. With a keen eye for detail and a willingness to interrogate her own profession, Abramson takes readers into the newsrooms and boardrooms of the legacy newspapers and the digital upstarts that seek to challenge their dominance” (Vanity Fair). We get to know the defenders of the legacy presses as well as the outsized characters who are creating the new speed-driven media competitors. The players include Jeff Bezos and Marty Baron (The Washington Post), Arthur Sulzberger and Dean Baquet (The New York Times), Jonah Peretti (BuzzFeed), and Shane Smith (VICE) as well as their reporters and anxious readers. Merchants of Truth raises crucial questions that concern the well-being of our society. We are facing a crisis in trust that threatens the free press. “One of the best takes yet on journalism’s changing fortunes” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), Abramson’s book points us to the future.

The International Alt-Right
Author: Patrik Hermansson
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429627092
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
The alt-right has been the most important new far-right grouping to appear in decades. Written by researchers from the anti-racist advocacy group HOPE not hate, this book provides a thorough, ground-breaking, and accessible overview of this dangerous new phenomenon. It explains where the alt-right came from, its history so far, what it believes, how it organises and operates, and its future trajectory. The alt-right is a genuinely transnational movement and this book is unique in offering a truly international perspective, outlining the influence of European ideas and movements as well as the alt-right's development in, and attitude towards, countries as diverse as Japan, India, and Russia. It examines the ideological tributaries that coagulated to form the alt-right, such as white supremacy, the neo-reactionary blogosphere, the European New Right, the anti-feminist manosphere, the libertarian movement, and digital hate culture exemplified by offensive memes and trolling. The authors explore the alt-right's views on gender, sexuality and masculinity, antisemitism and the Holocaust, race and IQ, globalisation and culture as well as its use of violence. The alt-right is a thoroughly modern far-right movement that uses cutting edge technology and this book reveals how they use cryptocurrencies, encryption, hacking, "meme warfare", social media, and the dark web. This will be essential reading for scholars and activists alike with an interest in race relations, fascism, extremism, and social movements.
