Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 82
In the early 20th century, business elites, trade associations, wealthy powerbrokers, and media allies set out to build a new American orthodoxy: down with 'big government' and up with unfettered markets. With startling archival evidence, Oreskes and Conway document campaigns to rewrite textbooks, combat unions, and defend child labor.

The story the world needs.
Revisado: 03-15-23
This book lays out the history of pseudo-libertarianism, how it’s affected our world, and lays out potential paths forward.
A critical idea that needs more attention.

In Denying to the Grave, Sara Gorman and Jack Gorman explore the psychology of health science denial. Using several examples as case studies, they propose six key principles that may lead people to reject "accepted" health-related wisdom. This fully updated new edition reviews the most recent research on health science denial, offering a new chapter on how the contemporary "assault on science" waged by certain political administrations has eroded public trust in national health and science agencies.

Everyone loves a good conspiracy. Yet conspiracy theories are not a recent invention. And they are not always a harmless curiosity. In Suspicious Minds, Rob Brotherton explores the history and consequences of conspiracism, and delves into the research that offers insights into why so many of us are drawn to implausible, unproven and unproveable conspiracy theories. They resonate with some of our brain's built-in quirks and foibles, and tap into some of our deepest desires, fears, and assumptions about the world.

Nobody meant for this to happen. Facebook didn't mean to facilitate a genocide. Twitter didn't want to be used to harass women. YouTube never planned to radicalise young men. But with billions of users, these platforms need only tweak their algorithms to generate more 'engagement'. In so doing, they bring unrest to previously settled communities and erode our relationships. Social warming has happened gradually - as a by-product of our preposterously convenient digital existence.

Not as bombastic as you might expect. A good outline of the troubling facts and challenges created by one-size-fits-all, optimization-at-all-costs algorithms.

In this timely, personal guide, Mónica, the chief storyteller for the national cross-partisan depolarization organization Braver Angels, takes you to the real front lines of a crisis that threatens to grind America to a halt - broken conversations among confounded people. She shows you how to overcome the fear and certainty that surround us to finally do what only seems impossible: understand and even learn from people in your life whose whole worldview is different from or even opposed to yours.

Good recommendations, bad justification
Revisado: 01-08-23
This book was such a mixed journey.
On one hand, it had some really wonderful ideas about making sure you don’t shrink your comfort zone to exclude opinions you disagree with and how to enable productive conversations to understand people with different beliefs and values from our own.
On the other hand the positive points are undermined by an insistence that the methods will work in all cases, that all people can be understood and reasoned with, and the implication that it is our duty to attempt to bridge the divide no matter what.
In a world brimming with counter examples (QAnon, Flat-earthers, etc.), the argument for when and why this is necessary falls flat, and without reflecting on the gradient of circumstances and how they relate to the communication methods discussed, the book as a whole is rather incoherent and, for me, undermines its own purpose and purported values.

Great… except implicit bias
Revisado: 07-29-21
This book was wonderful… until the chapter on implicit racial bias. Signal’s reasoning through the flaws of IAT were sound and enlightening. The he just kept going and going without solid foundations and basic contradictions in reasoning.
Of course maybe I’m biased.
But that’s the point, isn’t it.

A conventional wisdom has emerged since the election of Donald Trump in 2016 that new technologies and their manipulation by foreign actors played a decisive role in his victory and are responsible for the sense of a "post-truth" moment in which disinformation and propaganda thrives. Network Propaganda challenges that received wisdom through the most comprehensive study yet published on media coverage of American presidential politics from the start of the election cycle in April 2015 to the one-year anniversary of the Trump presidency.
