Antisocial: Online Extremists, Techno-Utopians, and the Hijacking of the American Conversation by Andrew Marantz
5.0
This is so good. Yes, there’s a lot of information you can find elsewhere on books about social media, far right online spaces, etc, but this stands out due to its coverage and analysis of trolling and the flippant “alt-lite” responsible for so much extremist recruitment. At times it felt a little voyeuristic/tabloid-y and I can’t fully articulate what didn’t sit 100% right with me but it’s also hard not to come off that way when you’re profiling extremist exhibitionists and also like, whatever.
