Journalist and one - time senior political advisor Tom Baldwin tells the riveting - - often terrifying - - story of how a tidal wave of information overwhelmed democracys sandcastle defences against extremism and falsehood. Control Alt Delete exposes the struggle for control between a rapacious 24 - hour media and terrified politicians that has loosened those leaders grip on truth as the internet rips the ground out from under them. It explains how dependency on data algorithms and digital technology brought about the rise of the Alt Right the Alt Left and a triumphant army of trolls driving people apart. And it warns of the rise of those threatening to delete what remains of democracy: resurgent populists in Westminster the White House and the Kremlin but also - - just as often - - liberals fearful of mob rule. This is an explosive brutally honest and sometimes funny account of what we all got wrong and how to put it right again. It will change the way you look at the world - - and especially the everyday technology that crashed our democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Ctrl Alt Delete How Politics And The Media Crashed Our Democracy\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Baldwin Tom\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: C Hurst \u0026amp; Co Publishers Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781787380066\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 320 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 3\/1\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Political Control \u0026amp; Freedoms","brand":"Baldwin Tom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49623958880561,"sku":"IN-G-9781787380066","price":33.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781787380066-ctrl-alt-delete-how-politics-and-the-media-crashed-our-democracy","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
