Reviews

“This is a timely volume. It is thoroughly researched and very well written. The chapters, though written by different contributors, fit together nicely. It is an excellent team effort. In reading it, I found a clear articulation of what I had been observing, living, and reflecting upon in post-truth America.” (Anthony J. Duben, Computing Reviews, March 8, 2022)
