Reviews

"""This book is a valiant attempt to provide an even-handed account of the current forms of political control of discourse and information – forms familiar from Orwell, but which have re-emerged in the face of political polarization."" Stephen Turner, Distinguished University Professor, University of South Florida ""We are certainly living in an Orwellian moment. The book has the potential to make an important contribution to understanding this political movement and may even work to protect democracy."" Anna M. Bounds, Associate Professor of Sociology, Queens College ""This book makes an important contribution to the subject. Disinformation and the possibility of America becoming autocratic is very urgent. It speaks decidedly to the Orwellian moment."" Joseph Scimecca, Professor of Sociology, George Mason University"
