Listen now to get the main key ideas from Max Fisher's The Chaos Machine.

The conventional wisdom that social media brings out the worst in people is accurate, but it doesn’t go far enough. In The Chaos Machine (2022), international reporter Max Fisher uncovers just how deeply and negatively social media has affected our world. Big tech companies have allowed their unsupervised algorithms to exploit weaknesses in the human mind, earning them billions of dollars by spreading misinformation and hate speech. Fisher provides a chilling exploration of the role social media played in the rise of Trumpism and far-right extremism, the genocides in Myanmar and Sri Lanka, and much more.
