DESCRIPTION

Book Award for Excellence in JournalismFrom a&nbspNewYork Times&nbspinvstigative reporter,

this &#8220auhoritative and devastating account of the impacts of social media&#8221(New York

Times Book Review)&nbspnbsptracks the high-stakes inside story of how Big

Tech&#8217sbreakneck race to drive engagement&#8212an profits&#8212atall costs fractured

the world. The Chaos Machine&nbspis&#8220anessential book for our times&#8221(Ezra Klein).

We all have a vague sense that social media is bad for our minds, for our children, and for our

democracies. But the truth is that its reach and impact run far deeper than we have understood.

Building on years of international reporting, Max Fisher tells the gripping and galling inside story of

how Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other social network preyed on psychological frailties to

create the algorithms that drive everyday users to extreme opinions and, increasingly, extreme

actions. As Fisher demonstrates, the companies&#8217founding tenets, combined with a

blinkered focus on maximizing engagement, have led to a destabilized world for everyone.

Traversing the planet, Fisher tracks the ubiquity of hate speech and its spillover into violence, ills

that first festered in far-off locales, to their dark culmination in America during the pandemic, the

2020 election, and the Capitol Insurrection. Through it all, the social-media giants refused to

intervene in any meaningful way, claiming to champion free speech when in fact what they most

prized were limitless profits. The result, as Fisher shows, is a cultural shift toward a world in which

people are polarized not by beliefs based on facts, but by misinformation, outrage, and fear. His

narrative is about more than the villains, however. Fisher also weaves together the stories of the

heroic outsiders and Silicon Valley defectors who raised the alarm and revealed what was

happening behind the closed doors of Big Tech. Both panoramic and intimate, The Chaos

Machine is the definitive account of the meteoric rise and troubled legacy of the tech titans, as well

as a rousing and hopeful call to arrest the havoc wreaked on our minds and our world before

it&#8217stoo late.
