About this listen
Have you heard that Bill Gates is running a secret genocidal plot? That the war in Ukraine isn't real? Or that people are paid to act out some of the worst attacks imaginable?
In Among the Trolls, BBC journalist Marianna Spring meets the people spreading online conspiracy theories—and their victims. Far from a few lone wolves, she uncovers a staggering network of true believers and conspiracy influencers engaged in an international information war.
Based on first-hand interviews and original reporting, this eye-opening and unforgettable book reveals the human stories behind the fake accounts.

Worth reading
Some very interesting examples of the mess Social Media can cause in society and a good analysis of some of the many causes and effects these platforms and their users are having in daily life.
Not glamorised or sensationalised, some stories you will probably know, some you won't.
Definitely worth reading.

Very informative and interesting book.
Highly recommended 👍

thorough, timely, brave and professional
an excellent review of authors work into the murky world of online disinformation and it's repugnant real world effects, this will not be popular with those the shutter-minded who think themselves to be open-minded and well informed, which is a shame because the author gives them more consideration and understanding than they give her.

A scary and fascinating insight into how the world works
I’ve always enjoyed Mariannas work on podcasts and reporting, and this book is more of the same (in a good way). The impartial nature of her work always stands out (and angers those down conspiracy rabbit holes or on the far right who scream “lie” when it’s something they don’t agree with (looking forward to seeing the trolls come on and bash this book!)
Great listen, if a little depressing on the state of the world.

A must listen
A clear journey through some of the author's investigations into online conspiracy and trolling. She shares views from both sides in an attempt to understand why people believe the conspiracies and/or troll people online

Everyone must listen to this!
Very informative and rational. I was very happy to find this audio book after listening to a few of Marriana Spring podcasts. This book is a perfect representation of logical approach to conspiracy theories that so many fall for these days, and looking at it all from a logical perspective
