520			_a"Artificially intelligent "bot" accounts bolster or berate politicians on Twitter. Conspiracy theorists publish junk news sites to promote their bunk. Campaigners create fake dating profiles to attract young voters. We live in a world of technologies that jeopardize, in turn, our attention, our discourse, and our democracies. Harnessing information garnered from polling data, internet postings, and interviews with journalists, bot writers, and political consultants, Philip N. Howard offers a way to identify and derail these "lie machines." Full of riveting behind-the-scenes stories from the world's biggest and most damagingly successful misinformation initiatives-including those used in Brexit and the U.S. presidential election-Howard not only shows how these campaigns have evolved from older propaganda operations but also gives new insight into why they are so effective at swaying public opinion"-- _cProvided by publisher.
