"The Chaos Machine -The Inside Story of How Social Media Rewired Our Minds and Our World"

Publisher: Little, Brown and Company Shop: https://www.littlebrow... ISBN: 9780316703314 Category: Social sciences

Building on years of international reporting, Max Fisher tells the gripping and galling inside story of how Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social networks, in their pursuit of unfettered profits, preyed on psychological frailties to create the algorithms that drive everyday users to extreme opinions and, increasingly, extreme actions. As Fisher demonstrates, the companies’ founding tenets, combined with a blinkered focus maximizing engagement, have led to a destabilized world for everyone.
