LIE MACHINES by Philip N. Howard
The New York Review of Books writer Jonathan Freeland features Philip N. Howard’s LIE MACHINES in his article “Disinformed to Death.” Freeland writes that “the moment is ripe . . . for books on disinformation . . . these ‘lie machines’ – consisting, Howard writes, of the governments or political campaigns that produce the lies alongside the social media platforms, algorithms, and bots that distribute them – matter gravely.” Yale University Press published the book on May 19, 2020.
