Publisher's summary

In the digital age, information, both true and false, spreads faster than ever. The same technology that provides access to data across the globe can abet the warping of truth and normalization of lies. In this audiobook, we examine the intersection of truth, untruth, and technology, including how social media manipulates behavior, technologies such as deepfakes that spread misinformation, the bias inherent in algorithms, and more.

good but with a strong Left-wing bias

The book is good and interesting. There is, however, a predominant Left-wing bias at work. Be prepared to hear to your satisfaction how Russia is the cradle of all evil (EG Russian hackers drove Trump to success). How coherent...when the USSR groomed and abetted firebrands who stoked polarization in the old days, the Left called it the feminist revolution and the Civil Rights crusade: not fueling discontent but “righting wrongs”. Another bias at work is elitism. One panelist hails that California did not put the vaccine question to a referedum because voters are too, you know, stupid to decide...says who? Other panelists insist that people in general are too stupid or gullible and fall for a lie, so "scientists" ought to be in charge (the panelist sees oneself included I suppose). You'll need more than a grain of salt here.
