Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Lies We Live By: Misinformation, Extremism, and the Threat to Democracy delves into one of the most pressing issues of our time: the destructive power of misinformation and how it threatens to erode democratic values worldwide. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of how falsehoods have shaped political discourse, divided societies, and fueled the rise of extremist ideologies. From the manipulation of social media algorithms to the spread of conspiracy theories, the book uncovers the deep-rooted political deception that has paved the way for chaos in democracies across the globe. It examines historical and modern case studies, including Nazi propaganda, Russia's disinformation campaigns, the Capitol insurrection of January 6th, and the role of political lies in the Brexit movement, highlighting how these tactics have been weaponized to undermine truth and trust in democratic institutions. Through interviews with leading historians, journalists, political theorists, and former extremists, The Lies We Live Byoffers insight into how lies and manipulation are fostering political violence, polarizing societies, and weakening democratic norms. It addresses the global impact of political misinformation on topics like climate change denial, immigration, and elections, showing how these lies are destabilizing nations and spreading authoritarianism. This book is not just an analysis of how democracies are under attack-it is also a call to action. It explores the efforts of fact-checkers, educators, and activists who are fighting back, promoting truth, and reclaiming democracy. With practical strategies for combating misinformation and fostering resilience, The Lies We Live By encourages readers to confront the challenges of the modern age and recognize the importance of collective action in defending democratic principles. By the end of this book, readers will better understand the pervasive threat of political lies, the danger of allowing misinformation to fester unchecked, and the need for urgent and sustained efforts to protect truth in public life.…
