A penetrating, passionately-reasoned analysis of how propaganda and disinformation have been used as tactics of both hard and soft wars, and how we continue to be manipulated today. This is a storyteller's account of the devastating force of storytelling.--Angela Saini, author of The Patriarchs and Superior Annalee Newitz always sees to the heart of complex systems and breaks them down with poetic ferocity.--N.K. Jemisin, author of the Broken Earth trilogy These days, we all feel besieged by divisive and destructive messages. As Annalee Newitz expertly shows, that's no accident. Illuminating and energizing, Stories Are Weapons can help us defuse the propaganda bombs going off all around us. It also shows how we can come together to tell different stories--stories to shed light in the darkness, make sense amid chaos, and forge hope and community instead of fear and isolation.--Astra Taylor, author of The Age of Insecurity and co-founder of The Debt Collective
