Anti-Social Media: How Facebook Disconnects Us and Undermines Democracy

The book "Antisocial Media" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of how Facebook has evolved from an innocent social site into a powerful force that undermines democracy.

The author, Siva Vaidhyanathan, provides a detailed account of how Facebook's hubris, missionary spirit, and ideology have led to the erosion of social trust, the spread of propaganda, and the facilitation of Russian meddling in elections.

Despite its market orientation and global labor force, Facebook has contributed significantly to the global collapse of basic tenets of deliberation and democracy.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the impact of social media on society and how it can be used to promote positive change.
