'The Chaos Machine is an essential book for our times' - Ezra Klein
The Chaos Machine is the story of how the world went crazy from social media. The election of populists like Trump and Bolsonaro, conflicts, and genocide in countries like Myanmar, the increasing spread of conspiracy theories about COVID-19 that are just as deadly as the pandemic, are all products of a collapse in our social and political lives, a collapse driven by the apps, companies, and algorithms that are constantly competing for our attention.
Max Fisher is a leading technology journalist for the New York Times, whose work has covered how social networking sites - increasingly guided by artificial intelligence rather than human ingenuity - are pushing users towards more extreme positions, deepening divisions in society in the pursuit of greater engagement and profit.
With excellent access to the most powerful players in Silicon Valley, and with testimonies from around the world about the destruction caused by our online selves, The Chaos Machine shows us how we arrived at this uniquely dangerous moment - and how we might overcome it.
