"Could not be more timely and important; and its central premise--that this new stage in the evolution of the web has political implications that will match or even outstrip its commercial ones--is both striking and convincing."--Felix Martin, Financial Times, praise for Pax Technica: How the Internet of Things May Set Us Free or Lock Us Up " Lie Machines is an important account of the corruption of online information flows, offering up a bounty of lively, action-oriented reflections on the vulnerabilities inherent in today's digital communications architecture."--Jonathan Zittrain, George Bemis Professor of International Law and Professor of Computer Science, Harvard University " Lie Machines presents Howard's cutting-edge research on disinformation and computational propaganda in a vivid, compelling manner. The book is a tour de force analysis of grave threats to democracy, and how to defuse them."-- Frank Pasquale, author of The Black Box Society " Lie Machines takes on one of the great challenges of the digital age. Refusing to wallow in the dystopia of it all, Howard produces a must-read for the moment and a blueprint for the future."--David Kaye, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression, "Could not be more timely and important; and its central premise--that this new stage in the evolution of the web has political implications that will match or even outstrip its commercial ones--is both striking and convincing."--Felix Martin, Financial Times, praise for Pax Technica: How the Internet of Things May Set Us Free or Lock Us Up " Lie Machines is an important account of the corruption of online information flows, offering up a bounty of lively, action-oriented reflections on the vulnerabilities inherent in today's digital communications architecture."--Jonathan Zittrain, George Bemis Professor of International Law and Professor of Computer Science, Harvard University, "Could not be more timely and important; and its central premise--that this new stage in the evolution of the web has political implications that will match or even outstrip its commercial ones--is both striking and convincing."--Felix Martin, Financial Times, praise for Pax Technica: How the Internet of Things May Set Us Free or Lock Us Up " Lie Machines is an important account of the corruption of online information flows, offering up a bounty of lively, action-oriented reflections on the vulnerabilities inherent in today's digital communications architecture."--Jonathan Zittrain, George Bemis Professor of International Law and Professor of Computer Science, Harvard University " Lie Machines presents Howard's cutting-edge research on disinformation and computational propaganda in a vivid, compelling manner.

Howard relates a complex subject in simple and convincing terms, producing a prescient and socially significant work."--Zizi Papacharissi, author of A Private Sphere: Democracy in a Digital Age, "Could not be more timely and important; and its central premise--that this new stage in the evolution of the web has political implications that will match or even outstrip its commercial ones--is both striking and convincing."--Felix Martin, Financial Times, praise for Pax Technica: How the Internet of Things May Set Us Free or Lock Us Up

Howard offers ways to take these "lie machines" apart. Lie Machines is full of riveting behind-the-scenes stories from the world's biggest and most damagingly successful misinformation initiatives--including those used in Brexit and U.S. elections.
