In this book, a sequel to Propaganda and Disinformation: How to Detect Them (2022), journalist Aris Chatzistefanou offers a manual for identifying and confronting organized forms of public opinion manipulation on the internet. He examines the ways algorithms and large language models, such as ChatGPT, promote stereotypes and reproduce dominant narratives. At the same time, he challenges technophobic myths that see every technological advancement as an enemy instead of a tool for human liberation.
