Description
We live in a fast-paced time full of various influences. Targeted advertisements, hackers, internet bots, ISIS, Putin, trolls, Trump - all of them are trying to shake our perception of reality. In this surreal atmosphere, aimed at disorienting us and undermining our sense of truth, we have lost not only faith in peace and democracy but also the notion of what these words mean. Peter Pomerantsev takes us to the front lines of the disinformation war, where we encounter Twitter revolutionaries, populists, identity politicians, jihadists, truth guardians, and many others. Forty years after his parents were persecuted by the KGB as dissidents, Pomerantsev demonstrates that Moscow has once again become a propaganda superpower. His research thus led him back to Russia - but the answers he sought were not what he expected. The book This Is Not Propaganda is partly a report, partly an intellectual adventure - it explores the role of politics and ourselves in a time when truth is often turned upside down.
