It's all the more relevant today.              "Whenever you see a malicious online rumor costs a company        millions, politically motivated fake news driving elections, a        product or celebrity zooming from total obscurity to viral        sensation, or anonymously sourced articles becoming national        conversation, someone is behind it. Often someone like Ryan        Holiday.              As he explains, "I wrote this book to explain how media        manipulators work, how to spot their fingerprints, how to fight        them, and how (if you must) to emulate their tactics. Why am I        giving away these secrets? Because I'm tired of a world where        trolls hijack debates, marketers help write the news, opinion        masquerades as fact, algorithms drive everything to extremes,        and no one is accountable for any of it. I'm pulling back the        curtain because it's time the public understands how things        really work. What you choose to do with this information is up        to you."              Read an excerpt:       https://www.edelweiss.plus/?sku=1591846285&g=4400              USA Readers, support a local bookshop of your choice:       https://bookshop.org/a/93260/9781591846284              --- OpenXP 5.0.57        * Origin: Mobile?
