I wish I read this earlier. This came out in 2018 and has lots to say about Silicon Valley, Facebook, Twitter, Cambridge Analytica, state actors, and the US 2016 Election.
If you wondered, as I have, if your real-life friends were assholes all the time and were eager to
shunt all or most of their communications with you to a social space that rewarded them for
releasing their inner trolls, to block or mute or unfollow you if you presented a contrary position
or a fact-based refutation of their claims, that nurtured their narcissism, or if they were
conditioned and manipulated by entities paying commoditized, centralized social media platforms,
made addicts to immediate feedback both negative and positive, this book provides evidence of
the latter.
