Great book on misinformation and how it spreads. More importantly, it lays a foundation for how we can start to inoculate ourselves against it, both individually and as a greater society.

Good to know. Coulda been a better article rather than a full book.

Definitely a fascinating read as someone who grew up during the rise of the computer and consumption of online media. Most of us have been taught to make sure our sources are reliable when reading news or research, but this book takes it up a notch helping you identify the "mode of transmission" for disinformation and how it's amplified on social media platforms.
The theory and research behind phycological inoculation along with the execution and implementation of different "vaccines" was explained was compelling, and I truly enjoyed getting to read about the process from someone at the top of the field. van der Linden made the information in his book easy to follow and digest regardless of your background in psychology, and I highly recommend.
