A review by sadiemae13
Antisocial: Online Extremists, Techno-Utopians, and the Hijacking of the American Conversation by Andrew Marantz

5.0

I so appreciate Marantz’s dedication to understanding and explaining the alt-right and the rise of the internet in the political sphere. As a “normie” who was surprised by the outcome of the 2016 election, I found this book incredibly insightful. While in some ways I was horrified to read how easily many of Marantz’s subjects slipped into a world of online radicalization, I appreciated how he left readers with stories of hope and a reminder that the work toward justice and equality begins with ourselves.
