Today, online propagandists\nincreasingly shape public opinion and even control our relationship to the\ntruth. Our shared reality has splintered into discrete bespoke realities driven\nby algorithms, influencers, and curated content. Very little can bridge the\ndivide, making democratic consensus nearly impossible to achieve.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nRenée DiResta exposes how these propagandists and their followers undermine the\ninstitutions that make society work, from anti-vaccine zealots who flood social\nmedia with fringe viewpoints to political influencers who use AI-generated\nimages to manipulate our perception of reality. She also provides readers with\na new conception of civics that helps us understand and fight back against\nthese new invisible rulers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRenée DiResta \u003c\/b\u003eis an associate research professor\nat the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University and a\ncontributing editor at \u003ci\u003eLawfare\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHer work examines rumors and propaganda in the digital age.\nDiResta’s writing has appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWired\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Foreign\nAffairs\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Columbia Journalism Review\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e The New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e The\nWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e The Yale Review\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e The Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e POLITICO\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e Slate\u003c\/i\u003e,and\u003ci\u003e Noema\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TIMES DISTRIBUTION PTE LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45796052074703,"sku":"9781541703384","price":40.28,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5662\/3823\/files\/download_416b4ccd-e924-4e41-ae4d-cc8030e79836.jpg?v=1787540657","url":"https:\/\/popular.baby\/products\/invisible-rulers-the-people-who-turn-lies-into-reality-paperback","provider":"Popular Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
