Reviews
"[A] fiery debut...a well-informed take on what ails social media, and a vigorous riposte to conservative narratives of persecution by Big Tech." -- Publishers Weekly, "Invisible Rulers provides a superb analysis of how social media has fostered a world of 'bespoke realities' in which truth is shaped by online influencers rather than empirical facts, thereby fostering the extreme polarization in which we now find ourselves." -- Francis Fukuyama, author of The End of History and The Last Man, "Who decides what we pay attention to, whom we trust, and how we engage with each other? In Invisible Rulers , a unique and unusual work of observation and scholarship, DiResta provides the answer--and it is not reassuring. Among them are people who know how to game algorithms, people who want to sell advertising, or people who want to alter our politics, foreign authoritarians among them. DiResta shows how domestic trolls and foreign oligarchs now wield influence on a global scale, turning online trends into truth, and shaping our understanding of reality itself." -- Anne Applebaum, author of Twilight of Democracy, "Anyone trying to create change in the world needs to understand the field they're playing on, and Invisible Rulers will open your eyes to the nature of a game most of us don't even realize we're playing. DiResta provides a roadmap not only for concerned individuals, but also for our institutions, who need to step up. Invisible Rulers is required reading." -- Jennifer Pahlka, former US deputy chief technology officer, and author of Recoding America, "Once you have seen what Renee DiResta has seen--how the trainwreck that is now public discourse is so rapidly undermining our politics and society--you can't unsee it." -- Tim O'Reilly, founder and CEO, O'Reilly Media, "In this compelling and beautifully written book, DiResta sheds fresh light and understanding on the greatest threat to social cohesion. If you care about securing a better future for generations to come, read this book, and work with others to implement DiResta's thoughtful recommendations." -- General H. R. McMaster, author of Battlegrounds and At War with Ourselves, " Invisible Rulers is an indispensable guide for navigating the complex future of information warfare. DiResta masterfully unveils the unseen forces shaping our perceptions and beliefs, illustrating the profound shift in the dynamics of power and influence. An interesting, if unnerving, must-read for anyone concerned about the future of technology, truth, governance, and societal cohesion in the digital age." -- Amy Webb, CEO, Future Today Institute, and author of The Big Nine, "No one understands this new world of information warfare, a world where the rumor mill and the propaganda machine work in tandem to distort reality, better than DiResta. She is the go-to person for everyone who wants to understand influence operations, from technologists to government officials. She sees things before others do. And more important, she knows what it takes to fight back." -- Bruce Schneier, author of A Hacker's Mind, "I am in awe of DiResta's ability to see through the digital haze and identify many of the most important threats coming at the United States and humanity more broadly. As AI supercharges social media and the power of conspiracy theorists, foreign intelligence agencies, and all who would turn lies into reality, we are so fortunate that DiResta shares her hard-won knowledge with us--and her battle scars. Invisible Rulers is essential and riveting reading." -- Jonathan Haidt, Thomas Cooley Professor of Ethical Leadership, New York University, Stern School of Business, and author of The Righteous Mind, "Renée DiResta is a superhero protecting reality from insanity. Her work and voice are indispensable. If humanity doesn't ruin its future through idiocy, DiResta will be one of the reasons why."-- Jaron Lanier, author of Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now, "[A]n insightful account of how, over the past two decades, social-media influencers, algorithms and crowds have hijacked the public debate on consequential topics... DiResta offers a nuanced discussion on the role of free speech, content moderation and education in our fractured media landscape."-- Nature

Synopsis
A brilliant, original investigation into the radical shift of power as invisible rulers create bespoke realities revolutionizing politics, culture, and society. Anyone who wishes to destroy legitimate political and social power has a new weapon. It is the anarchist's dream, a force so shockingly effective that its destructive power seems limitless. Scientific proof is powerless in front of it; democratic validity is bulldozed by it; leaders are humiliated by it.What we used to call influence has become something violently toxic. Renee DiResta gives us a powerful original framing to explain how it now shapes public opinion through a virtual rumor mill of niche propagandists. While they position themselves as trustworthy "Davids", their reach, influence, and economics make them classic Goliaths, invisible rulers who create bespoke realities that control the destinies of millions of people, their work driven by a simple maxim: "if you make it trend, you make it true."By revealing the machinery and the dynamics of the interplay between influencers, algorithms, and online crowds, DiResta vividly illustrates the way belief in the fundamental legitimacy of institutions that make society work is deliberately undermined. This alternate system for shaping public opinion, unexamined until now, is rewriting the relationship between the people and their government in profoundly disturbing ways.From taking on and defeating California's anti-vaxxers a decade ago to uncovering the ways that China and Russia target the American public and our elections, - and now herself a target of Congressmen Jim Jordan and hyper-partisans of the lunatic fringe - DiResta has not merely been an observer of the machinery promulgating the Big Lie and the unyielding culture wars. As analyst, investigator, and participant, she provides unprecedented insight into the way influencers shape the opinion and behavior of massive crowds, with the power to drive those crowds into battle - while bearing no responsibility for the consequences., An "essential and riveting" (Jonathan Haidt) account of the small communities of propagandists revolutionizing politics, culture, and society Invisible Rulers is about a profound transformation in power and influence that is altering our politics, our local government, and even our relationships with friends and neighbors. Today, small communities of propagandists increasingly shape public opinion and even control our relationship to the truth. Our shared reality has splintered into discrete bespoke realities driven by algorithms, influencers, and curated content. Very little can bridge the divide, thereby making democratic consensus nearly impossible to achieve. Renée DiResta exposes how these propagandists and their followers undermine the institutions that make society work, from anti-vaccine zealots who flood social media with fringe viewpoints to influencers who use AI-generated images to manipulate our perception of reality. She also provides readers with a new conception of civics that helps us understand and fight back against these new invisible rulers.

- r***1 (178)- 買家留下的信用評價。過去 6 個月購買已獲認證The book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
- 4***1 (1639)- 買家留下的信用評價。過去 1 個月購買已獲認證Book arrived quickly and is pretty close to "Very Good" description. Value priced and I'm glad I made the purchase as this is an excellent read. However, the book was mailed loose inside an over-sized plastic bag without any protection. Wrapped in a bubble wrap jacket would be a big help. A book can take a beating in USPS transit without some buffer. I can't tell if the bumps and dings were original or occurred in transit. I'd prefer to pay for shipping than have it sent with no protection.
