Antisocial: Online Extremists, Techno-Utopians, and the Hijacking of the American Conversation by Andrew Marantz
4.0
I doubt I would have found this book were it not for the online library. Certainly an arresting subject matter though I am most amazed at the author’s ability to maintain his sanity while being embedded with the alt-right. I like that he doesn’t try and sugarcoat their rhetoric, nor is he forgiving of them. He provides a rounded outlook on all the people featured in the book.
It amazes me that anyone would think this way and that in today’s world you can get away with and get popular by thinking and talking as these people do.
If this was a work of fiction, none of us would believe it. But these people are real and a worrying trend. The author remains hopeful by the end of the book but his faith in humanity may be misplaced.
