A disturbing account of how today's technologies are used to distract, mislead, and confuse us about politics--and what we can do about it

Gegenstände, die über das Internet kommunizieren, gar selbstständig Entscheidungen treffen - das schien eher zum Gedankengut von Nerds und Science-Fiction-Fans zu passen als zu einem realistischen Bild unserer Wirklichkeit. Inzwischen haben die Visionen Einzug in unseren Alltag gehalten - über Sportarmbänder, vernetzte Automobile und Haushaltsgeräte, die sich via Smartphone steuern lassen.
