Summary : In an era dominated by the rapid evolution of technology and the pervasive influence of social media, the essence of democracy stands at a crossroads. The Deception Industry: The Art, Craft, and Science of Hacking the Electorate ventures into the heart of this juncture. Within these pages lies an examination of the fundamental tools that have revolutionized modern-day election campaigns. From the omnipresent mobile phone, now a linchpin in political strategy, to the clandestine repositories of voters, data that can make or break political narratives, the first part of the book sets the stage for a plunge into the mechanics of influence.<br/><br/>Part Two unfurls a tapestry woven by influential actors, where social media stands as an architect of narratives. The dissemination of fake news emerges as a calculated tactic. The sinister underbelly of messaging platforms and the orchestrated campaigns of cyber armies come to light, revealing the disturbing extent of their impact in shaping the public sentiment.<br/><br/>Beyond the tools and influencers lies a piercing scrutiny of the deception industry itself, dissecting the business of elections and the questionable ethical framework that underpins it. The Deception Industry does not merely dissect; it challenges the readers to confront the moral quandaries of using deceptive tactics to win elections. |
