Description:
"Outrage Machine: How Tech is Amplifying Discontent, Undermining Democracy, and Pushing Us Towards Chaos" explores the unintended consequences of small features introduced by social media companies that have transformed how media, politics, and society function. The book discusses how these changes have inadvertently created an "Outrage Machine" that captures our attention with anger, leading to a crisis of trust in society.
Author Tobias Rose-Stockwell combines cutting-edge research and personal anecdotes to illustrate how social media has influenced public behavior, causing people to react impulsively rather than reflect and engage in constructive debate. The book delves into the triggers and tactics used to exploit anger, showing how these technologies tap into our tribal instincts and psychological vulnerabilities, becoming platforms for authoritarianism and threats to democratic norms.
"Outrage Machine" also provides historical context, examining how each new media technology, from the printing press to social media, has disrupted society's ability to make sense of the world. The book aims to shed light on the challenges posed by modern technology while offering realistic solutions and a pathway toward positive change.
