Title

Reality lost: Markets of attention, misinformation, and manipulation

Summary

This book explores how the abundance of information and scarcity of attention lead to the spread of populist narratives, fake news, and misinformation. It examines how these dynamics affect media and political landscapes, resulting in a post-factual democracy where misleading information influences public opinion and decision-making. The authors argue that understanding the mechanisms behind these issues is essential for addressing the threat they pose to democratic processes and freedom.
