Fake News by Chris Stokel-Walker
We live in a hyper-connected world: anyone can go online and share their view with potentially millions of people. The result is an era of radically democratised (dis)information. And it's a threat to democracy itself. But fake news has a surprisingly long history. This book traces its evolution through rumour, conspiracy and misinformation, from Ancient Greece to Donald Trump and then beyond, asking the question: how do we make sense of a post-truth world?Chris Stokel-Walker is a British journalist whose work has appeared in WIRED, The Economist, and Newsweek, among other publications. He is well-known for breaking important YouTube news and frequently covers the site for television, radio, and podcasts. He's traveled all over the world for YouTubers, attending YouTube events and chatting with behind-the-scenes producers and power brokers like KSI, Hank and John Green, Emma Blackery, and many more.
