Outrage Machine

"Outrage Machine" by Tobias Rose-Stockwell explores how recent social media developments have transformed media, politics, and society, fueling a society-wide crisis of trust and amplifying human anger. Drawing from research and personal stories, the book examines how these technologies exploit psychological vulnerabilities and tribal instincts, threatening democratic norms. It also contextualizes social media within a broader historical cycle of technological disruption, while offering insights and solutions to navigate and address these modern challenges.
